Notes From Supergirl

My Diary from the Trenches

Day 89

August28

My blood counts bottomed out today, which is good. It means that they will be working their way up from this point forward. However, this is the point where I get really nervous because this is the point during my first chemo that I ended up with the stomach infection and then, later, the liver infection. So far I feel okay, but I am having some pain in my liver and I’m hoping that doesn’t mean anything. I’m also running fevers most of the day. We can only assume it’s from the infection but I’m on all kinds of antibiotics to cover any other possibilities. The doctor also thinks that one of the meds I’m on for the infection could be causing my fevers so we’re switching to a new med tonight to see if that makes any difference.  The problem with the fevers is that sometimes they’re coming more frequently than I’m allowed to have Tylenol (every 6 hours) so I’m having to sort of suffer through them until I can take the next dose.

I missed Ty’s soccer game today but I’m proud to report he scored to the first goal! He also played goalie most of the time he was in there and he did great. My dad sent me pictures and Brian’s coming down tonight and bringing video. I’m so proud of him.

Robyn came down for a visit today and brought be some fun books to read and stuff to paint my toe nails. I’m very grateful for both and, as always, the great conversation. Brian’s coming down tonight to watch the Raven’s game with me. I haven’t seen him in a while so I’m looking forward to it. So since the game just started, I’m going to run!
