Night, night from the ER at MD Anderson. Doing better Was extremely dehydrated, along with several other low counts. They have me on fluids, electrolytes, magnesium, calcium, potassium, cypro, and f… (another antibiotic for my stomach). Had to be rolled in with a wheelchair, could hardly move, was barely talking, was freezing, hadn’t eaten, and couldn’t keep food in my stomach. Now, after several hours of being here with meds feeling soooooooo much better!!!!!!!!! My mom is now up here taking the night shift, so Garrick could get home and take Mikala to school in the morning. Don’t know what I would do without Garrick, my Mom and the rest of our friends and family. Ready to get better and get back on...

IV

IV

Ok, so back to reality Last Thursday was my PET scan and today is my appointment to get my results to see if the chemo I am on is working, super scary!! Last week my veins were misbehaving, lol. It was a 4 stick day, but luckily the staff was soooo great that I actually had no near fainting episodes:) You cannot eat 6 hours before the scan, so I hadn’t eaten anything since the night before and only had a little water. When I don’t eat and haven’t had a lot of water, my veins will typically be a little more complicated. My veins are little and you can barely see them. Luckily, I now have a port (pictured above)!!! So, it is not very often an Iv has to be started in my arm Interesting info: Before the scan they test your blood sugar and mine was 47 (probably explains why I was moody that day). Before the test, they inject glucose with radio isotopes attached, which allows the scan to “see” where the cancer cells...
