Dr Morris suggested Nellie stay in hospital thru the weekend. He feels she will tax her strength too much and not be able to start the chemo on Monday. So that's what we will do.
She felt really good all day Friday, reds at 11.2. Today reds at 9.8 and plts dropping fast. She received plts today and will probably be ready for reds tomorrow. Hard to believe the drop, so fast.... She will receive a drug known as Ara C for 7 days, with who knows how long to recover. Dr does not feel like she will make it. Must be a really tough recepy. I am worried. Almost want not to do it. But then what?? Nellie is up for it. I will support her in her decision and be there for her, all the way. Keep on praying, please.
God Bless you guys for being there for us.
Eli.
