Thurs. Nov. 2nd

The Gallium was this morning at 8:30 and lasted about an hour and a half. Then we came back to have a tiny break before we went off to Physio for about half an hour which went really well. Than back up to our room to drink some contrast for the CT scan which they moved to this afternoon instead of tomorrow. Then a dietitian came in so all in all it was a busy day. We found out that we've been recording the wrong liquid consumption so she's actually getting a lot more than what we thought. One of the nurses had told me the cup was 125 ml which was really 250 mls and meanwhile they've been adding saline and TPN for make up what she's been missing which she hasn't been missing all along, which is actually good, but may explain why she's full faster than normally because she's filled up with fluids, duh!

Blood pressure was slightly high this afternoon but the nurse figured it might have something to do with all the liquid intake and when she checked it a bit later it was fine. No more fevers and no infections have shown up. Her white blood cell count seems to be going up which is good as well. Tomorrow they will compare the CT scan with the gallium and hopefully find out our next course of action.

Don't know when we're going home and afraid to ask because it's such a let down when you think you're going and you actually don't.
