Friday Night
So her temperature is down again. She needs to keep it down and show her numbers are rising "rapidly" before she can go home. She has sores in her mouth and is refusing to eat or drink. She won't even swallow her own saliva, instead letting it build up and drool out of her lips. They are giving her a low dose of morphine to fight the pain hoping she'll eat something. She did munch a few Fruit Loops tonight so hopefully they are on the right track.
We are settling in for the weekend and hope to go home sometime on monday. That of course is dependent on her temp staying down and her blood counts going up! Meanwhile, she will continue to whine, cry and throw things in her angry frustration. We will attempt to hide our own frustrations from her.

Saying special prayers for all three of you, sweet friend. I'm so sorry you are having to deal with this. Do not hesitate to let me know if there's anything you need or that I can do.
Glad to hear the temp is down, let's hope it stays that way and that the other numbers are on the rise. Happy new Year - I hope it is a very good one for your family.
