Adele was ?sleeping? when I walked into the room this morning. She tried to talk with me - but she is at a point of almost asleep so I told her to just sleep.
They started giving her morphine last night for her pain. I know how vicodine reacts with her, so I am assuming the morphine is partially responsible for the sleeping this morning. She said she was waiting for the next dose at 11:30 AM as I walked into the room. It apparently helps very much.
Numbers on the blood work are mixed this morning. Liver numbers dropped again, and that is a great relief. Platelets are dropping again - she had at least 3 bags of platelets this past week. White blood count is still <50 or basically nothing while red blood counts are higher at 31.7. She is getting growth hormone shots to help the WBC counts so that should get them up soon. She received 2 bags of red blood cells yesterday afternoon, so of course the RBC is up today. Will keep everyone posted as things develop.
I still believe this weekend is going to be a time that these numbers will start their upward climb - on their own and not buoyed by transfusions. No facts to support this, just a guess at averages and what Adele's numbers have done in the past.
Keep us in your prayers during this Super Bowl Weekend.
Let Adele call out to people this weekend - please hold back calls to Adele. Let her reach out when she is awake and ready to talk.
Thanks to all - Rick
