Getting There

Today is the best day yet, it it before 9am and I am out of bed...upright, actually in a chair. this is big. i havent gotten sick for the past 2 days, and i am off the nausea meds. my WBCs are up to 1600 today!! and im waiting for them to take me off the antibiotics that i am on. as soon as i come off those, thats one more step closer to getting out of here. unfortunately, i am still being fed through TPN (a big bag of yellow stuff that goes directly through my IV) but im hoping to come off that today as well. lots of hopes i know, but i am at the city of hope...
my doctor has the day off and im waiting for his partner to come talk to me, give me some kind of timeline as to when i can go home. ive never wanted to do anything more than go home! i miss my family so much, especially jack, he's leaving on the 9th to join the coast guard and i wont see him for so long!!

anyways, i really have a good feeling about this chemo, it obviously did something if it made me this sick. i am anxious already to start the second round and put this whole experience behind me. but thats still a few months away.

thank you so much for reading my blog, sorry i dont update it more. ill work on it!

carpe diem.
