Last Tuesday Mom had gone in for her usual blood tests and nearing her last Neupogen injection. Well, she had been suffering from the onset with a few mouth sores. By the time she arrived at the hospital she had a fever and a another mouth sore. Mom was immediatley admitted into the hospital and begun treatment for both symptoms.
By the 12th hour of treatment, Mom's fever broke. By last Thursday she also had less mouth inflamation and began to feel her spunky self. Mom was discharged on Friday afternoon. She and all the staff were, yet again, so pleased and impressed with how well her body fights back. She is absolutely their star patient.
It was wonderful for those few days for Mom and Poppie to receive all the love and concern by the staff. This admittance was on the transplant floor since there was not any rooms available on "her" Oncology floor. Well, the staff on the transplant floor quickly adored Mom and adopted both she and Poppie. The Oncology staff continuously were visitng Mom as well knowing she was admitted. Yup, Mom had non-stop company. It is so heart warming to see Mom's magic continue to work. She brings so much joy and laughter to so many around her even when Mom is focusing on herself. We all know that all this love, attention and respect that she receives is what is fueling her to FIGHT her AML.
Mom had a quiet and pain and symptom free weekend. She continues to fatigue easily, but this is par for the course at this point.
I will email later in the week to give another update. If something comes up sooner, of course I will email sooner.
Hugs, Love and feel the best you can,
Karen
