Mom, Dad, and Ms. Annie went to see Dr. Rixe today. He said, "You look strong! You look good!" He seemed pleased with how she was handling everything. Her blood work numbers were a little off, probably from the cold she has, but nothing to worry about. They will do blood work again next Monday (Dec. 6) and if all is well, she will receive her next doses of chemo Tuesday-Thursday (Dec. 7-9). It will be the same routine as last time: outpatient, same meds, etc.
Another little bit of hopeful news is that Dr. Lisle stopped by this evening to check the pressure in Mom's eyes. It had dropped from 24 to 19. Now, I don't know what those numbers mean, but Dr. Lisle was impressed. "I don't want to give you false hope," he said. "But those numbers are significant." Dad said he would take hope in any form. :)
Happy December!

I did a little cypherin' and concluded that Ms Rosie now has nearly 25% fewer numbers in her eyeses. I think we can all agree this is a good thing!
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see everyone in such high spirits!
After thorough research (or two minutes on wikipedia) I see normal eye pressure is 10-20 mmHg, so 19 is good.
ReplyDeleteJill thanks for the update

I am hopeful and praying for miracles!
