Gaining Ground

Wednesday March 14, 2001 I waited to do an update today so I might tell you more of what is going on...but I have waited and I still don't know what is going on. They are giving Kelby transfusions this afternoon. She is handling the IV nutrition well. They have been giving it to her over 18 hours, but they are going to get down to 12 hours tonight. Then, we'll probably be able to get out of here early tomorrow morning after she is done with tonight's dose. I hope to talk to our doctor later today and see what the next steps will be for Kelby. I hope that we can go straight to surgery and not have anymore rounds of chemo. We have had an easy day today. We both just relaxed. I hope we can sleep as good tonight as last night! It sure makes a difference that I have a bed to sleep in! Anyways, things are really getting better. Kelby is able to be happy when she is awake. She still sleeps a lot, but she usually does until her white blood cell count starts going back up. I predict that it will be up tomorrow. Plus, she is getting more red blood now, so that will help her energy level too. Until then we'll keep watching "Olie" and "Vegies" over and over and over again!
