I talked with Mom not too long ago and she is nicely settled in her hotel room again with Indra. The rest of her Cytoxan infusion went well and she's feeling quite tired, but no nausea as of yet. Hopefully it will stay that way, but we will know more sometime late tonight, probably between 10pm and 2am sometime. It also turns out that they did give her a bit of steroid with the infusion, so it wasn't without the steroid buffer as we'd thought it would be. Apparently some dexamethasone went into her drip, along with the anti-nausea and anti-anxiety meds. That's a very good thing and hopefully the steroids will help to keep some of the side effects at bay.
While I was talking with Mom, Indra walked up to the grocery store (a block away) to get some things and then across the street to CVS to pick up the rest of the prescriptions. Mom says she has been so very wonderful, helpful and energetic. The bone marrow transplant clinic has a caregiver room, so Indra was able to spend some time in there for a break now and then. Apparently they have computers, televisions and things to eat and drink. Indra got back to the hotel right around the time I was signing off with Mom.
Tomorrow morning, Mom and Indra will head over to the bone marrow transplant clinic so that Mom can get her blood drawn. That appointment is at 10:30 and then they should be able to go back to the hotel room and rest for the remainder of the day.
I'll update more tomorrow, but probaly in the afternoon. In the morning, I get to have my hair cut and Will and Allen are going to a workshop at Lowe's to build a cute little school bus chalk holder. In the early afternoon, we'll be taking Squirt to get some new shoes. Lucky kiddo!
