Day +16

There are so many ups and downs here!

Yesterday was an up day for her. This morning when I got here she was still on that up side. She was making me wrap her in her blanket on the side of her bed and said look I'm big chief Indian...and she would just giggle away. One of those good ole deep belly laughs!

She sat up on the side of her bed for a good while and I cut her nails they were super long and aggravating her. Earlier in the morning she had been wheeled down with my dad to do a CT scan of her sinuses and her chest. Well this is where the low comes in! The sinus are clear thankfully BUT...there is fluid around the lungs and a few spots on the lungs..nothing big they said. They have upped her lasix to 6 times a day to help get some of this fluid off of her and added yet another antibiotic. She looks better than she did yesterday and she said she feels better than yesterday. On another upside is her counts they went up to 1.7 for her white blood cells and her ANC is 1.3, tomorrow if the count is still about 500 (anc) then we are walking the halls...getting her out of this room!! They said that once she is up and moving a bit more that too will help with the fluid in her lungs. She got back in her bed around 2:45 or so and she has been there for a while but she has been awake and the bed is at an upright position. I told her she could rest today but I am going to push her tomorrow to walk as much as she can. We will also find a wheel chair or a wagon, so she can take a ride out in the hallway.

this picture below is of her playing Wii yesterday.
For now we need to storm the heavens for this fluid and spots on her lungs to go away along with these high fevers!!!!

Thanks for keeping her in your prayers they mean so much to us to have all of your support!

Blessings....
