Better news
Nellie was looking and feeling much better Tuesday except her reds dropped again were they had to give her two more units of whole blood. Otherwise no fever, blood pressure slightly elevated sugers high but all under control. Haven't seen her yet this morning but I have high hopes.
Hi Vera, taking shots in the stomach was considered, but Nellie has so much trauma going on from other shots that she opted for the IV. The port when it was working was wonderful. No discomfort and little to none side effects. She is hoping they can get one put in the left side to continue the treatments. The pick line that was placed yesterday seems to be working fine. Her platelets dropped some to around 45. I am hoping her counts hold up better since they found no bacteria in the pick line they removed, or in any of the other cultures done. So that's great news. Cross my fingers, maybe she can come home today or tomorrow. Well keep on praying.
God Bless, Eli
