DAY +32

ALICIA HAD A VERY ROUGH NIGHT AGAIN. WHEN DENISE AND I SWITCHED PLACES AND I GOT BACK TO THE HOSPITAL, SHE LOOKED TO ME TO BE IN ALOT OF PAIN. EVERYTIME I CHANGED HER DIAPER OR EVEN TOUCHED HER SHE WRENCHED. SHE COMPLAINED ALOT ABOUT HER TUMMY HURTING SO I HAD THEM CALL THE DOC AND HE GAVE HER SOME MORPHINE WHICH SEEMED TO HELP ALOT.

ALICIA ALSO HAD TO BE PUT BACK ON INSULIN SHOTS LAST NIGHT. THEY ARE GIVING HER THE LANTIS EVERY 24 HOURS AND MORE UNITS AS NEEDED AFTER THEY CHECK HER SUGAR LEVEL EVERY FOUR HOURS. IT GOT AS HIGH AS 338.

ALICA IS GETTING EVEN MORE MEANER TO THE NURSES, SHE WAS ALREADY BEING MEAN BUT WITH THE DOSAGE OF STEROIDS DOUBLED SHE IS BEING EXTRA MEAN!!! HERE ARE SOME PICTURES DENISE GOT OF THE LOOKS SHE IS GIVING THE NURSES. THERE ARE STILL A FEW NURSES SHE IS BEING NICE TO.................

I ALSO HAVE TO SHOW THIS PICTURE OF DENISE..... I WONDER WHERE SHE IS GETTING THE IDEA TO GIVE BAD LOOKS????? DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT ACTUALLY SHE WAS DOING IT BEFORE DENISE GOT HERE SO SHE IS REALLY NOT TO BLAME BUT I JUST HAD TO GET PAY BACKS FOR HER TELLING EVERYONE IN THE POST THAT I NEEDED A SCOOTER TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE ZOO :)

THEY SHOULD BE ROUNDING ON ALICIA SOON SO I WILL PUT AN UPDATE IF I FIND OUT ANY THING DIFFERENT THAN WE ALREADY KNOW.

SHE DOES LOOK LIKE SHE IS FEELING A LITTLE BETTER THIS MORNING AND SHE EVEN JUST ASKED FOR A HOT DOG SO CROSS YOUR FINGERS THAT THIS IS A SIGN THAT WE ARE MOVING UPWARDS.

WELL THEY JUST DID ROUNDS ON ALICIA AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOT MUCH CHANGE WITH THE GVH YET. THEY DID SAY WE WOULD PROBABLY BE HANGING OUT HERE IN THE HOSPITAL FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER MONTH (WHICH I AM FINE WITH) I KNOW SHE IS IN THE BEST PLACE. THEY ALSO SAID THAT THEY ARE GIVING HER PLTELETS WHICH WERE DOWN TO 18,000 AND THEY NEED TO STAY ABOVE 50,000 SINCE THE BIOPSY AND SCOPE SHE HAD SATURDAY. THEY DID SAY THEY ARE GOING TO STOP HER GCSF BECAUSE HER ANC IS 2.49. GCSF IS A MED THAT HELPS TO BOOST ER ANC SO THEY WANT TO SEE IF AICIA CAN HOLD HER OWN. I SURE HOPE SHE CAN. THEY SAID HER BIOPSY REPOERT SHOULD BE BACK THIS AFTER NOON SO I WILL UPDATE LATER.

I AM OFF TO SAY GOOD BYE TO DENISE AND CASSIE THEY LEAVE IN AN HOUR. THANKS SO MUCH DENISE YOU WERE A HUGE HELP TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
