Whew...I'm a walking zombie today. Last night we had IVs at 6p-12mid-and 6am -- I haveto take the IV ball out an hour or so before to get warmed to room temperature so as not to freeze Trish's veins out -- trust me she feels cold enough on her own without the help.
After bathing, we arrived at IPOP on time by 10:30 and Trish greeted Dr. Meade with vomitting. He said he would be by to see us later. I think the wheel chair ride made Trish a little nauceous this morning. She's been pretty good the rest of the day. She went walking with her sister and mom, while I ran to get tires on our car, new wiper blades and a space heater for Trish. Now maybe we can run her space heater and the air conditioner for me (cause now, we just shut the A/C off and I sweat.)
Despite Trish's platlets being at 18, they held off from giving her some. Her low number is set at 10, so they won't give her any till she drops even lower. Because she didn' t need platlets or anything else, it was a relatively quick trip. We did get some concerning news as her billirubin and the associated liver enzymes all went up a little -- click on the counts in the left column for a picture. One day does not a trend make and we'll see what tomorrow's labs bring. If the start to trend up -- this would be bad. So please, get out your favorite liver function lowering prayers and start them tonight. We'll keep you posted. Need to start Trish's 6pm IV, so look for more tomorrow.
