1/9 Not much change

Not much change today…a lot more of the same. Hurting tummy, fever, throwing up, sloth, no desire to work out, trouble walking…pretty much a not-too-fun day. Her hemoglobin was low today at 8.6 gm/dL…a full two grams below normal, and she was transfused just yesterday. They didn’t give her too much volume for blood yesterday and that’s the reason for the low hemoglobin. The docs are still comfortable with anything over 8 for sure and get more concerned as it approaches 7. She had two more blood cultures drawn because of the 102° temp twice.

Not a lot of action from the docs today. Infectious disease came in and pretty much said we're done with this room because of Henry's chicken pox. Even though there was little going on…where did the day go? Time seems to vanish while in the hospital for some reason. It only takes a couple hours to endure six it seems a lot of the time.

We’re gett’n real psyched for our new room. It’s gonna be so fun existing in 1/3 the space, ugh. And we’re lucky enough to have it until February…isn’t that great?!
