Laura had a doctor's appointment today.
Her white blood counts are at 5.8! Which is great! (And, for those of you who might not know, 5.8 is really 5,800)... Her magnesium and potassium were low and she's been having trouble retaining food and liquids and her meds. So, they gave her an infusion to boost her magnesium and potasium and to boost fluids.
And, while she was still exhausted from the day, she climbed six flights of stairs after her appointment to get to the car. Though I don't think she would tell you she felt GOOD today, she definitely felt better today than yesterday.
They sent her home with IV fluids which she will have for the next seven days. I think it's a good thing.
I thought it was enough exercise that she climbed those stairs, but she decided to take a walk with Lisa after supper tonight! Isn't she something?!

Here are some photos of the IV fluids arrriving and just a glimpse at what all is involved in making Laura feel good again.
Love y'all!
