Day +20: holding steady

Mina Brigitta had another "consolidation" day today; they've now taken off most of her meds and her IV nutrition, and she's still doing just fine. She didn't have a lot of energy today, and the combination of being tired from low blood counts and the prednisone leads to a lot of crying spells, but she's eating and drinking and holding her own. Her liver function tests are still elevated, but no one seems too worried about it as long as her bilirubin is normal and she's looking well. Feeling better also means that it's harder to keep her entertained, and it seems like the room is feeling small again. Hopefully only a few more days...

    I wanted to chime in and say something today. reading each day's Blog and comments has been a strange at times wondeful and at times intense journey. It is a nice way to feel connected to what is going on while allowing all of you to give your attentions and energy to what is most important. Thanks Arne. It is good to hear that things are on the upswing. I think the weekend will be bright.
    love
