We met with Dr. Tauer this morning before what was supposed to be Mom's second round of chemo. Turns out her white blood count is really low - a side effect from the first treatment. This is probably why she's felt so bad lately. Dr. T could tell from her lab work that her white count is already starting to recover and said Mom should start to feel better in a couple days. Pray that he's right!
Because of the low white count, Mom's at a high risk for infection, so she's started a round of antibiotics today, just to be on the safe side. She'll continue getting fluids at hone for as long as she feels like she needs them.
We'll try again next week for chemo. For now we're going to try to keep Trish away from germs and feed her! Her appetite seems to have come back a little tonight. :)
