Last day of chemo

Here we are, the last hours of induction therapy and Nellie looks and feels amazingly good. She had more platelettes on Saturday. Her plts are holding over one hundred and her reds at nine point seven and whites at point four. She still gets new mouth sores that bleed and hurt but they are not lasting as long. She rinses frequently with Magic Mouthwas w/Litocane mixed in. Takes Tylenol with Codine for the coughing and pain, which seems to work wonders. No fever the last couple of days. Last spike was on Saturday. They took a blood culture, but no results yet.

Though we are not out of the woods yet, things are looking good. Dr Morris said this morning that tomorrow we start getting Neupogen again, to help the white cells along. Continue to monitor Nellie over the next few weeks to avoid infections and any posible organ damage that may arise. Then in twenty one days a BMB to see where we are with the decease.

I am looking at her now, half asleep, very calm and she looks so positive. She just commented that her grandchildren are her life. I know she loves and needs them to be complete. Keep on praying, it's not over yet. Thanks guys and God Bless
