Back home

Hi everyone:

Kathleen had a less-than-stellar night of back pain and restlessness, in part because doctors gave her Lasix, which makes a patient and a bathroom close companions. Patty spent the night with Kathleen, came home this morning to collect me and, during our afternoon visit, snoozed more than the patient.

This morning, Kathleen's blood tests revealed she was still running low on several counts, so she received two more bags of blood and one of platelets. At around 7pm, she was released and we dropped her at home, where she planned to relax on her sofa. She has an appointment on Tuesday to have her blood checked again.

Kathleen's color looked much healthier late in the day today. Our hope is that her new chemo starts to work soon, so she can get some relief from the frequent trips to the hospital for blood products.

More soon as we have it...

Love,
Brian
