After a couple quiet days at home, this morning we went to the clinic for blood work and a check up to have everything ready to go for the weekend. Finger poke went much better and quicker this week although Evelyn is starting to remember what happens in what rooms so she wasn't too happy today. We went upstairs to get results and her height and weight recorded. Evelyn's hemoglobin was lower this week then last week and the nurses talked about doing a blood transfusion to bring those numbers up. Since we are being admitted tomorrow night they decided to wait it out and possibly do it tomorrow or Thursday. Evelyn's had a pretty bad diaper rash the last week (from a combination of the chemo and diarrhea). Last week there were a few open sores and the nurses were concerned her chemo treatments would be pushed back - Evelyn's platelets drop while going through chemo causing her to bleed a lot easier so if there are open sores treatment gets delayed. The nurses took a good look at her bum and gave us the good news that treatment will go on as planned. We need to make sure none of those sores come back in the next day. Tonight and tomorrow will be quiet, busy with packing and laundry for the week.
