Sorry for the lack of updates. It seems so repetitive to me, since she is basically in the same situation as every time her counts are low. We have been in the hospital for a week now. Her counts are starting to climb again, this morning her ANC was over 600. If she werent running a fever or needing continuous pain medication, we would be able to go home, but we will robably be here for another 2 days atleast. She has to be weaned from her morphine drip and be able to take all of her meds orally. She has been dealing with her mouth sores again, like every time her counts are low, so she can hardly swallow, but she is talking more each day, so I know it is getting better. She is scheduled to go in for more chemo on Friday, but now I am thinking it will likely be delayed. She only has a few days until then and I doubt her mouth will be healed sufficiently enough by then. On a good note, Sierra is up to 35lbs. She has been on IV nutrition for 4 days and they are starting her on an appetite stimulant today as well, hopefully we can keep her from getting so skinny again.
