Tessa didn't get as much sleep last night again. With the double dose of chemo pills she has alot of extra dead cells breaking down in her body creating extra urea so of course she's peeing more which distrubs everything because she's plugged into a machine thats plugged into a wall. Nurses also have to check her vitals every 4 hours.
At least last night she didn't have to deal with me snoring. I stayed at family in sioux falls here which was helpful. (plus I'm in a much better mood today so hopefully I won't bite at the nurses as bad who pull and poke too much).
White blood cell count is only down to 123,000. Still getting lower but not as fast as they had hoped--even with the doubling of the chemotherapy pills. Looks like we might not go home yet until sunday, maybe even monday.
I'll update more when we see Dr. Vinod. He's tried a few times this morning but we were in the middle of getting ready or trying to get the water out of her dressing on her shoulder after the shower so we'll see him hopefully within the hour in which we'll learn more about how its all going.
Thats about it for now. I'll update after we see the doctor--if there is anything new to report.
I keep reminding Tessa she kept saying all summer that me and her just need to get away for a bit. I guess this is sorta what she wanted. We've been relaxing in the afternoons and watched Kung Fu Panda 2 yesterday. It was neat to watch, we didn't know it but at the end the movie was actually all about Po finding his original family after finding out he was adopted....
