Not much to report today. Mom is doing about the same as she has been.
I believe that her mental faculties are about leveled-off. Meaning, to me, that she is essentially stabilized in her ability to remember (or not remember) things. It's not 100%, certainly, but at least it has not worsened.
Tomorrow, we go to the doctor's office for a quick lab visit. They will draw blood there and send us home. We will know the results likely during our next doctor's visit, which should be on the 11th of January. That's when she goes in for her second infusion. The blood work is done to monitor her blood counts: red cells, white cells, and platelets. All are important and they have to be in a certain range for Mom to be able to get her next infusion.
Continued thanks to the ESC Region XI team for the support and meals. It is truly appreciated more than I can adequately express here.

Hi Norma,
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a quiet Sunday. The last of our kids left this morning and so it is just Jack and me....kinda quiet. Hope your visit to the doctor for lab work is positive and that the weather is nice for you to get out for a while.
Continue to get those naps in when ever you can!! Think I will go get one right now. :-)

Hi Norma,
ReplyDeleteWatching the snow fall in Dallas --- can just imagine what it must be doing on the Ft Worth side of the Metroplex. Hope you're curled up in your new Snuggie enjoying it.
