More adventures

Apparently Mama didn't feel like she was getting enough attention with just the liver cancer. She had a great Saturday and a sleepy Sunday. Monday she was still a little droggy, but she was getting used to a different pain medicine and the chemo didn't help with the drogginess. I was actually able to be with her during this chemo treatment. We got to the docs about 10:00 and left about 1:00. After a quick trip to Walmart to get a couple necessities we went to the house and she snoozed for the good part of the afternoon. Since our church is having revival this week, we were planning on going. We had dinner about 5:30 and about half way through she started getting sick. Thinking that it was just a one time thing we were going to go on with our plans for church. After the second time of getting sick, we decided we better stay put for the night. She started seeing blood coming up as well. We called her doctor and took her on to the emergency room. They admitted her and had a room for her only 2 hours later. They gave her 4 units of plasma during the night and then started her on 3 units of blood . This afternoon they have given her 4 more units of plasma... one of those still going in as I type this. They are going to do some more tests to see if her blood counts are up. We are pretty certain this doesn't have anything to do with the cancer. We are hoping that she will be able to go home in the next day or so. We will know more later on tonight! On the brighter side of things, the meds they gave her this morning made her very looney acting. She was very silly! She has had many visitors as well. Hopefully the doctors and nurses will let her sleep a little tonight!
