Oh, Behave!

Pam in the morning

Austin Powers Teeth

Pam had a great day nearly all day yesterday, until about 9 PM, when a bunch of tissue started sloughing off of the roof of her mouth and throat, causing bleeding. 

Because of the bleeding and drainage into her throat, she had trouble sleeping last night.  This morning, she had a bunch of gauze in her mouth and she looked like Austin Powers.






Pam Lips

Lips

She is having a lot of mouth pain again this evening.  Her lips are swelling and she is having trouble talking.

I tell her that some people pay a lot of money for lip enhancement...

Bone Marrow Biopsy

The biopsy is being postponed until Pam begins to regenerate some blood cells on her own.  Her white blood count is still super low, .011, meaning the chemo did it's job.


I had an early morning phone conference, came to the hospital for a couple of hours this morning, and went to the office this afternoon. It is about 7 in the evening now, and Pam is sleeping, although she is keeping her mouth closed (and not snoring), which is very unusual for her.

By about 10 PM, she is finally feeling comfortable. Had a nice talk, and I was able to coast home.

Tomorrow will be another adventure.
