This week, at chemo, Mom learned that her hemoglobin levels (red blood cells) were down to a point that they offered her a blood transfusion. Mom declined the transfusion and after talking to the nurse Mom wants to wait and see if it goes up in the next 2 weeks. The Nurse agreed that this plan was reasonable and said that since next week is her NO CHEMO week, it could very well go back up to a better level.
Today is a fairly typical 'crash' day, she has been in bed most of the day BUT she did rally to go to Jack's afternoon basketball game. She and her trusty side kick, Chiyo snuggle in bed and the boys float in and out of her bedroom.
The season seems appropriate, winter*, time to rest and hibernate and this spring will be her time to bloom again:)
*although winter in Santa Barbara is not typical--it's been in the 70s and 80s this week--simply gorgeous!
Big hugs to Zeb, springtime and blooming again! XOXO
