Here's the latest:

Last Thursday Laura started on IV fluids at home. Before that time, she wasn't able to eat very well and there was some concern about dehydration and energy levels. So, they gave her an IV for home use and she was told to remain on that for a week.

Today she went to the doctor and they said that she was doing well --  in spite of a drop in WBC. They said that sometimes drops happen and they weren't concerned. They decided to keep her on the IV for at least a week or maybe longer because they think it's helping her energy. From what I saw when I was there, that seems to be so.

She's also been eating better. And, I guess that could be due to many factors, but one of the big reasons, I think is 'cause she doesn't have to take those GIGANTIC Amoxicillin pills anymore. The size of those alone would make anybody feel queasy.

Emotionally she's doing pretty well. It helps to have all of her children with her. There are days, however, that are a little more challenging than others when it comes to being cheerful and upbeat. She amazes me, though, in her strength and determination.

Sorry the updates have been spread out. I think it's safe to say, when you don't see an update, that "No news is good news." 

Have a good rest of your week.

Thanks for loving Laura.
