Two Score Days

20 days since being admitted
10 days since the end of Round 1 of Chemo

Pam's blood count may be starting to improve.  Her white blood cell count nudged up today just slightly.  After the chemo, her lowest level was .1 and she is now up to .3.  This is a very small change, and it might not even be significant, time will tell.

No blood or platelets today.  3 walks: One with son Nate, another with daughter Alyssa, and once this evening with me.

Her mouth and throat pain are still the biggest problem symptomatically.  The dilaudid helps, but there are times when even that isn't enough.  As her white count begins to improve, the mouth and throat pain will resolve.

Pam wants me to take pictures of all of the people that are taking care of her.  This is Sara and Charlotte:

Pam Reviewing the Blog

Pam was feeling good enough after everyone left for the evening that she took a look at this blog herself.

She didn't think my photography was very flattering.  I reminded her that she has cancer, and everyone tells me how good she looks in the pictures.
