Sunday night

I can' wait for IPOP tomorrow...we'll get to see the nurse praitioner and maybe Dr. Meade... Trish's billirubin is heading down after going up one day, that's always good. The rest of the enzymes continue to plateau and we really need to see them go down. It will be interesting to hear what the NP and/or Dr. Meade say about the numbers. The differences are so slight that they are probably not alarmed, but they are definitely not headed south with the determination they had begun last week.

Trish is good but exhausted. Hopefully she will sleep well tonight, I know I should, as we have no IVs through the night and all of her evening pills are done. Despite her platelets being at 13, I was able to convince her nurse, who was able to convince "Dr. Platelet" to give her a bag. So we should see a jump in that number tomorrow. Part of getting platelets is pre-meds usually tylenol and benadryl. Trish refused the tylenol as it impairs liver function and took the benadryl which usually knocks her out for the day. So the sleepiness is not unexpected. I need to get some work done tonight, so look for another update probably Monday afternoon.
