And yep....even mom had cake at work today. Celebrating their birthday, survival, the fact I took a shower this morning and all my clothes were on the right way. :)
And now for what's coming next over the next week or so...
Payton will go in Monday afternoon for her usual lab draw but will be in the afternoon. When she's done in the clinic, she will be directly admitted to hospital. Monday evening she will get fluids and platelets in anticipation of Tuesday, where she will get a PICC line. We've talked with several doctors and she just isn't a candidate for a port. After the PICC line is in, she will begin 4 days of infusion treatments that involves a cocktail of 4 drugs. The hope is that the treatments will jump start her bone marrow to do what it's supposed to. It will be a wait and see game for a while after we're released to go home. She will be on a couple of her medicines after she comes home for a while, and we'll be managing her PICC line, as well as being bumped up to 3x a week blood draws.
We'll keep you updated how things go, but for next week that's what will be happening here. For updates, visits, etc., just get in tough with me.
More to come!
