Well after posting the last blog on Sunday, her fever went back up to 100.6. So we called and were sent back to ER. This time it was only 7pm and this trip to the ER went much better than Wed night's. The doctor was much better as well as the nursing staff. They took her stats as normal and she is down to 26 lbs. That is not good! She has lost 2 lbs since starting chemo. It took her a year to gain 4 lbs and now half of it is gone. They took her blood and ran the tests. This time her neutraphil number was 1080. They say that is still a safe number and sent us home after another dose of antibiotic. We were home by 12:30. Her sleep was again interrupted by crying and screaming and tummy pain. Bummer! She had some tylenol around 1am and had no fever the next day.
Monday was pretty uneventful, which is good. She ate better this day. She even got a little bit carried away in playing with mer brother Mon night and I had to tell her to calm down and be careful. She slept good Mon night except for one time waking up coughing like crazy. Tuesday was a good day as well. Still no fever! We had her eye checkup today. She did great; they always say how good she is and cooperative. She was able to complete a seeing test looking at letters this time. Her vision is 20/70 which is still pretty good. The doc was happy and said they hope that the chemo will keep this vision or maybe even make it better. So we shall see. We also were finally able to pick up the scrips for her pain meds and apetite stimulant. Supposedly, both these meds can make you drwsy. This should be interesting. When we got home, I gave her the first doses. She ate pretty well this day. For snack time she wanted a whole meal :) She is still being very picky though so I just let her eat whatever she wanted.
