Day -2 : Woozy meter 5 and increasing

Deb had an 07:30am clinic appointment and a 9:00 am Lung treatment. We first had to pick up the meds used in the lung treatment from our Pharmacy Angel Carla. Thanks!

Deb's Lung Angel is always so encouraging and cheerful! Thanks!

Finally we made it into the clinic for labs. Computer problems! The Citrix Farm was having problems! Same exact problem my workplace back home had been having the past few days! Deja vue all over again.

That meant lab results were glacial. Eventually the problems were solved  and Deb's labs showed she needed everything. Our nurse Sue Ellen had to hook up extra infuser pumps. She had so many tubes running into Deb that I accused her of cleaning out the supply closet and dumping everything into Deb. Eventually Sue Ellen ran out of supplies and Deb was released.

Before she was, the APN's and nurses made multiple visits to help make sure we are on track for day zero.

Double checking the platelets

Deb needed blood platelets. By the time she came home, she was worn out and needed a long nap.

Deb's appetite has been skimpy lately so I tried cooking something different. Baked taters and au juice, English peas, bread, and a small high-quality steak. pardon the pun, but Deb 'bit' on my fare. She did not eat much but she was able to get some nutrition.

Tomorrow, day -1,  is labs only...no chemo! It should be a short restful day.

Amanda's enhanced blood will be brought back from Baylor and begin preparation for infusion on Thursday.

I erred yesterday when I said Bob, number 5, was heading back to Tampa. He was back in clinic today to get some tests. So, I do not know what he is doing after all.

Blessings!
