Thursday
Today was another full day at the doctors for Michele. Her weight has returned to about 5 pounds more than before; she just has to get rid of the cankles and she'll be set.
They were concerned about an infection and believe that it was the PIC line in her next that she had needed for dialysis so they removed that. Which brought much joy to Michele. She now just has the PIC line in her arm that they use to get her blood to run her labs daily. They did take blood from her other arm today and were able to get it with out much of a problem; that is the first time since all this started that they could do this. Her liver enzymes are not quite in line yet so they are starting steroids for today for 3 days. Saturday they will send a nurse to the house to give them to her.
When the nurse gets her I think I will give her a magazine and tell her to have a seat and Michele will be right with her. Then make her wait a while - just to get even for all the waiting in doctors offices we have done.
Sherry had here drain checked but it's not ready to come out yet. She ran Michele down to the hospital today so she's pretty beat but still doing great.
