Alisa has had 2 doses of chemotherapy and should get 3 more over the next 3 days. Joan is really happy about how things are going. Alisa is not retaining nearly as much fluid as last time. Joan decided to give her less IV fluids and give Alisa most of her fluids through the feeding tube. This seems to have helped a lot. After 2 doses she has only gained like 3 pounds (I think she was up 15 at this point last time).
She still gets fevers occasionally, and sometimes she just feels sick. Her pain has been pretty much under control, she is only pushing her pain button a couple of times each day.
In our optimism, Joan and I discussed going home Friday night if everything continues to go smoothly. Lets hope.

Praying that everything continues to look up, Josh! Keep the hope flowing!

ReplyDeleteSeriously. I am so happy about this. What a fighter!!! She should consider boxing!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you have Joan worth you, sounds like she's a great lady. Yay for the good things that have happened. Prayers continue!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad. This definitely seems better this time over last time. Way to go Alisa! And you too Josh.
ReplyDeleteI wish everyone could see how pretty Alisa looks! Amazing, they've probably never had a patient in the ICU of Huntsman Cancer Center who looks so beautiful. I, like thousands of other fans of yours (Alisa AND Josh) am so very, very grateful things are going so well.
