Monday Update

Happy Monday... Trish didn't sleep too well last night, she must have been missing Aunt Mary's even after just one night. We woke up early and headed out to IPOP. Trish really has been eating well and the payoff came this morning when she weighed in with a two pound gain.

There was a mess up with the blood bank this morning and IPOP was only able to give Trish one of the two units of red cells that she was supposed to get this morning. They wanted her hematacrit to be at 38, because her weight was low. She is currently on collection 5 of 6 of the ECP treatment as I am writing this update and after the six collections, they will inject the photo-sensitive drug into her collected t-cells and re-infuse them.

Everyone remains hopeful that this will do the trick. Trish got a little nauseated right before we left IPOP and they gave her ativan right before we left, so Trish is sleeping through the process, mostly, between Tom (the pheresis tech) and I waking her up to check on her...

More news later...
