Shawna seems more alert
OK, I fixed my accent [laughing]. Being over-tired and typing messages here do not mix well. We are finally settling into a routine. Working without all of our conveniences from home is exhausting, but we will manage. We were able to find the converters and adapters we need for the electric and I'm sad to say that it would seem we have fried the nebulizer machine and the Kangaroo pump's base unit ... the portable unit of the Kangaroo pump will still work if we could charge it, but we can't because the base is gone.
Shawna's IV infiltrated yesterday causing her left hand to swell up the size of a softball or bigger. Her poor hands are so bruised up from being stuck constantly; price we have to pay though. No pain, no gain, right?
Can't wait for the first stem cell injection on Tuesday, Oct. 16th. Gary already thinks he sees some slight changes in her just from the stem cell proliferation meds. I must say she does seem more alert ... something in her eyes.
