Beth Back in the Hospital

Mom is back in the hospital.  She is feeling very weak, and is currently in her "nadir" (low-point) after the latest round of chemo (administered last week).  Her prognosis is good.  She will receive 3 units of blood tonight and tomorrow, and should go home tomorrow evening.  The physicians are not worried - this is purely precautionary.  

She was staying with the Hunnings and was a little pale and very weak this morning.   Kay took her to Dr. McCoy's office around lunchtime, and he decided that she needed blood when her hemoglobin levels were around 7.3 (it should be around 12).  

Mom is in MRH again, in Room 205 (she was in 208 for 3 weeks in December).  She got to know her nurses so well after her previous stay, so she is in very good and friendly hands.
