Adele is being bothered by mucusitis and weakness today. She will probably be in bed more today, as she is right now. Started on GCSF shots again, which will help white blood cells grow. She also got a nasal swab, as everyone will on Mondays from now on. They are culturing all patients every week this way, as another way to see who needs help with what. I am sure they are looking for colds and flu viruses.
Thank you all - Rick & Adele
Thought I would add, she took a shower while I was here, and is starting to have a difficult time doing some of these things by herself. Weakness is showing up there and as we walked around the hall this morning. She is shuffling more and much slower in her walk, and made it around 3 times only. Adele was ready to sit and rest after the shower and walk. Numbers are still trending down today, 22K/80/29.9 are today's numbers. Actually they are last nights numbers. Blood is drawn every evening around 8 PM, and then in the morning the nurses put them on the board for her to see.
Please do NOT mention numbers to Adele - she does not even want to know which number is which right now as it just gives her anxiety attacks when she gets to thinking too much about what they mean!
