So far so good

Thanks Vera, God Bless and protect you, Amen.

Second day of treatment with Idarubicin. She will have one more day of this drug then receive Cytarabine for four more days. Not sure what one does over the other. So far Nellie is not having any particular side effects from the drug, that I can tell that is. Maybe lower reds. She will receive packed red cells today after several antibiotics and chemo.

Nellie feels good today. No fever, throat much better, dry throat, BP up slightly, sugars very high but under control and says she wants to go for a walk in the halls of the hospital. Well maybe later, after tx. Keep on praying.
