Morgan went in to Children's this morning. She had her blood drawn and as we were hoping, she was able to start her chemo today.
She had a good day today. She is in good spirits and hasn't been feeling nauseous at all this round so far. Hopefully it will be more of the same tomorrow.
Another quiet day today. We are hoping Morgan will be ready to start chemo tomorrow. She will be going into Children's tomorrow morning and they will check her bloodwork to see if her platlet count is high enough to start.
We were happy to hear last week from Morgan's doctor, that Morgan's 2 day chemo rounds are now only going to be one day. One of the chemo drugs that she was taking is now complete. This is great news as it will mean only one day in the hospital for this round of chemo.
Morgan went first thing to Delta Hospital and had her blood drawn. Later this morning we got word that her platelets are far too low to start chemo. We have rescheduled her to now go in to Children's on Thursday morning in hopes she will be ready to start.
Morgan felt good today. She had a nice relaxing day and we topped it off with a nice family dinner at home. It was really great to have a nice home cooked meal with all four members around the dinner table tonight as they are few and far between lately. Happy Thanksgiving!
Morgan woke up feeling much better this morning. After meeting with the Dr this afternoon, it was decided that she could indeed go home. She was happily back home late this afternoon.
Her platelets are still fairly low and we are doubtful that she will be starting chemo on Tuesday as scheduled. She will rest for the remainder of the weekend and then go in to Delta Hospital first thing Tuesday morning to get her blood drawn and we will see if she is ready to start chemo. If not, we will try again Wednesday morning.
Sadly we are having to miss out on both sides of the family's Thanksgiving gatherings because of the unexpected hospital stay and recovery. We managed to pick up a nice little turkey breast roast and I will be cooking a little feast for the four of us to enjoy tomorrow evening.
Happy Thanksgiving to you all. Hope everyone is having a great weekend surrounded by their loved ones! ❤
Morgan woke up still in pain this morning and not feeling well. Over the course of the day, she started feeling much better. This evening she is feeling great and in good spirits. We are hopeful that she will get to come home tomorrow.
Morgan woke up feeling really horrible this morning. She was feeling nauseous and was having incredibly bad jaw pain. She headed in to Children's Hospital for her appointment and to have her blood drawn. Once the results became back from her bloodwork, they confirmed that she needed a blood transfusion. The doctor also gave her some morphine for the pain in her jaw.
A little while later we where told that she had spiked a fever while at the hospital. Therefore she needed to be admitted and put on an IV antibiotic. She will be staying at the hospital for a minimum of two days. She has been feeling nauseous and has been experiencing quite a bit of pain all day long. They have been trying to manage her pain with morphine but it doesn't seem to be helping as much as it should. She is unable to eat anything at this point because her mouth is too sore.
Carsen and I think she may have some sort of infection in her mouth which caused her to spike a fever and causing the pain. The doctors have not expressed their thoughts on what it could be as of yet. I think they are just waiting to see if the antibiotics help with reducing the pain in her mouth over the next two days.
Hopefully she will wake up feeling a bit better tomorrow morning.
