Thurs. Oct.5
Well Meghan went for her 4th chemo treatment by LP which they had to do in the O.R. she's been on the waitlist and they took her in around 12:20 and was done by 12:50 and everything went well. She has to lie still for at least an hour after as it can cause a headache. She had high blood pressure this morning so she had to take medication for and blood and platelets at 3:30 a.m. this morning. At around 8:30 she was ill and her blood pressure was high again so they gave her more medication to bring it down but she brought that up. Shortly after that her heart rate and beat were normal and so was her blood pressure. Her vision was blurring and she has a headache and her bp has gone back up so that's what's probably causing the headache. She's upstairs sleeping right now.
I'm waiting for the doctor to come back and talk to me regarding the results of the gallium Tues. & Wed. The resident this morning was VERY hard to understand and said something about her left leg but we won't be changning the treatment and the nurse was a bit upset with him so that's why the doctor's coming back to explain it properly to me, ugh!
Her spirits are alittle down right now as she's starving and they wouldn't allow her to eat yesterday because of her vomitting and than they wouldn't allow her to eat after midnight because of today's procedure. Meghan doesn't complain about any of these procedures, but she does about not being able to eat, but if I had gone without eating in about 4 weeks I'd be ticked too.
Nothing is scheduled for tomorrow that I know of but things change day by day and minute by minute. She will be having her 2nd dose of one of her chemos on Saturday though.
Talk to you all again tomorrow.
Love
Michelle

Michelle: Hang tough!! It sounds like Meghan is. Be sure she knows we are thinking of her all the time. My sister also includes her in all her prayers which you may or may not know are many. Be strong Meghan and fight for some food!
