Thank you all for your comments and support. As of yesterday, she was down to 81 lbs. My dad wanted to have her admitted, but her doctor said to hold off. I just don't know how much weight a person can lose without it affecting organ function and general body function.

I am trying to be symapthetic--I get it that nothing tastes good. I really hope that this will start to turn around in the next couple of weeks.

She still has her hickman intact so I am hoping that maybe they can hire a home health nurse to feed her through that? I know they won't want to put in a g tube sinse her platelets are still so low (about 50 at last check).

Vera, Do things taste good to you now? Are you able to walk around without getting winded? Do you have more energy?

Thanks again.

My best to all of you and your loved ones.

Amy
