I wanted to give a quick update. I am still feeling the effects of the chemo, mainly nausea, which is proving resistant to all my efforts. What energy I have I use going to the hospital twice a day (a total of 4 hours) for an antibiotic infusion. One of my blood cultures in the hospital came back positive for bacteria, so they left my PICC line in and we have to finish out this course of Vancomycin. My last dose will be Monday night and then there is a possibility of heading home if everything else looks good. I am so planning on that. Being away from my kids is getting harder. Sometimes it is all overwhelming. Thank you for all your prayers and kindness, at least I have that.

ReplyDeleteOh, I sure hope you get to go home soon, Alisa!
ReplyDeleteAlisa,
ReplyDeleteI am so very sorry you are having to go through ALL of this. You must be so tired of being sick and tired. I hope you get to go home and be pampered by your friends and family soon. Your boys must be aching for you... praying in Oregon, Gretchen
Praying you get to come home! We love you and have redoubled our prayers in your behalf!
ReplyDeleteI just finished reading the book Unbreakable and thought of you. Maybe you've read it? It's about a guy who goes from being an Olympic runner to an airman in World War II to being stranded in a life boat to becoming a prisoner of war. He triumphed and survived so many hard things. I'll never truly understand the epic amount of suckiness you've gone through but you continue to inspire me and I'm proud to call you a friend.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your boys will be dying to see you. So glad things are looking up. Love!
