Sierra was released from the hospital today. Her ANC had come up to 702 and her mouth sores are pretty much healed. She didn't hang out at 0 quite as long as she has in the past, and was only there for one day actually this go around, maybe because she only got one chemo instead of 2. She actually never ran a fever besides the one that landed her in the hospital, though she did have to get 2 blood transfusions and a platelet transfusion. She tested positive for some bacteria in her urine and complained of pain in her side when she went potty so they added an antibiotic for her in case she has a bladder infection. Her mouth sores never got as bad as they have before either, which is so nice. she never was in so much pain that she couldn't eat or drink, though they were pretty bad, morphine was able to keep her eating her pizza rolls and powder donuts:)
WE aren't scheduled to have chemo until at least Wednesday next week, so we have a free weekend, which hasn't happened in forever. We have lots of things planned though, which she is so excited for, I hope she has the energy to keep up. Sorry no pictures to update, I dropped my camera on Reece's birthday so I am waiting on it's replacement to come, hopefully Saturday, I take so many pictures so it is hard to be without it.
Hi Sierra and family:) my husband and I had the pleasure of meeting you at the petro truck stop in Spokane. We both really want you to get better and we will post the flyers we picked up at as many truck stops as we can from here to Atlanta GA. That's over 2500 miles away:) Hopefully you will here from some other people outside of your area. We would love to keep up with you and your journey ad hopefully when we get back this way we can see you again! Take care and keep in touch. We will be praying for you!! Lots of love, Alice and Ferenc (pronounced like Frank;)
