This is Adina again...

This was a challenging day for Deb. The good news is that she did have some small success with beginning to clear her colon. She still has a ways to go, but this was encouraging. They gave her a 1/2 gallon container of Go Lightly to drink in the hopes that this will further help the process.

On the more challenging side, they took Deb's blood during the night and found that her blood count was low and scheduled her to have an infusion today. In addition, her blood pressure has been climbing. Her oncologist will be in to visit tomorrow and we hope that she will be able to further assist in the coordination of Deb's care. I hope to be there tomorrow when the doctor comes. It turns out that the GI doctor that Deb is waiting on will not be back at the hospital until Monday. At this point, Deb believes that she would rather remain in the hospital until then, but this will continue to remain an open decision based upon how her overall condition progresses.

Deb does have access to a computer on her floor and has been checking the blog so feel free to leave her messages. She is comforted by the wonderful communications she has been receiving. I will post more again tomorrow.
