- the swelling in her right arm has gone down significantly
- the tubes/catheters that help her go to the bathroom have been removed
- her wounds both look a lot better and the dressings were changed
- her white blood cell count is coming back up
- she is eating and drinking on her own
- she is not receiving i.v. nutrients anymore
- they are beginning her transition from i.v. pain medication to oral pills.
Best part: she even got herself out of bed and walked to the bathroom, and was able to walk down the hospital hallway with her walker and the help of her nurses.
Although her white count is rebounding as expected, it is still low, so precautions are still being taken to make sure she doesn't catch something. The swelling in her legs and feet remains, but appears to be decreasing. We will be anxious to hear the oncologists' report tomorrow morning. No other scheduled treatments besides "get up, eat, and keep moving". Mom will have her second round of chemo next Monday/Tuesday.
She is doing very well.
