yesterday, i think i forgot that the blog wasn't just for me. i was reminded that a lot of people read the blog each morning to see how my mom is doing and not (totally) to see what weird thing i'm gonna write.
i received a couple of emails that "reminded" me that i didn't give any update on my mom. well, her white blood cells continue to climb. the doctor thought that an infection associated with her central line may be the cause of her recurrent fever. late yesterday, they removed it and replaced it with a PICC line (i think a description is in the central line link). hopefully, this will help with the infection/fevers.
the fevers are starting to concern the doctors a little more each day and they may choose to change her medication yet again. there seems to be some disagreement(?) among the medical team on whether they should use a specific drug to help her generate white blood cells. we'll see where that ends up.
again, sorry for forgetting to update everyone on her progress. i, honestly, got to laughing a lot with the "bald picture" and took the easy route. sorry.
please continue the prayers/thoughts/cards/posts/emails. they all are SO helpful to my mom.
