Day Three
Well it's day three. I used the wrong acrinim ATG the other day to describ Nellies' treatment. Actually it is referred to as Induction Therapy. You can Google the words and follow the links to AML and get a complete description of what she is going through.
She is doing really well. She had platlettes on Tues and Blood on Weds. CBCs are up and down. Reds are up, Whites are down and so are the Platellets. She is speaking better today but has more sores starting in her mouth and a slight fever. She is not eating well, has a pain in the stomach. Bathroom functions are OK.
We continue with the Cytarabine for four more days, then prepare for the storm. It is expected that seven days later will be the worst time frame. If we can make it through that, we have a chance. Your prayers have gotten us this far, keep them coming. God Bless you guys.
