Olivia’s counts are better today. The blood and platelet transfusions are giving her pretty pink skin back and making her feel better. She’s still nauseous and having some difficulty eating because of a stupid mouth sore. Mouth sores are common for people taking chemotherapy and/or radiation. I was hoping she would be lucky and not get any...not the case. we will be getting some magic mouthwash to help with the discomfort. She’s not had a fever since early morning hours. Our doctors are going to talk and look at getting some new medicine that will help with nausea and appetite.
Our radiology oncologist is please with Olivia‘s progress and how poised and well spoken she is when it comes to her treatment. I’m grateful she’s comfortable talking to her medical team.
Olivia is ready to leave the hospital. She hates being connected to fluids and having her port accessed. That is going to make the rest of tonight and tomorrow a long day. I am hoping that we will be discharged tomorrow afternoon, just in time for my best friend to arrive! Olivia needs to engage with someone other than me…as do I! This visit with Lala will do us both good!
