What A Difference A Day Can Make...

Yesterday was a day... as today is a day and tomorrow will be a day too... It's funny what a difference a day can make... I know it's sounds cliche-ish... but it is true.

Yesterday this was Emmah... out playing in the yard... sledding and enjoying the warm weather for a few hours.

Today she's kinda coming down with a cold... well has come down with, and it has a matching cough. For a limited time only, it has a low grade fever attached with it too... 100.1. She's on the borderline... if we get two readings of 100.5 in a 24hr period or if it spikes to 101 she has to go in. She's not eating like she needs to and isn't even close on the drinking, so we called and she's going to go back on fluids. We... along with the Doctors at CMH... decided to see how she would do off the TPN... we made that decision on Monday when she and I were at clinic and were going to reevaluate on Friday... her next clinic visit. That was a couple of yesterdays ago. Anyhow... since that time, she's not been able to hold up her end... so in an attempt to not have to go in before it's time, she's going back on fluids... not TPN mind you, that's liquid food... she's just getting regular fluids.

And that leads us to...

Tomorrow... hopefully it will be an uneventful day with regards to Emmah... that's even if we make it through tonight.

Well... in my last posting I mentioned the confusion regarding when we'd be going in next... it is in fact Monday the 26th... chemo will start the 27th... Tuesday. It's only fitting that she be in for her birthday... I was in for mine. Based on how things went with the last rescue, they've gone ahead and penciled in a release date already... hope they didn't jinx us.

That's gonna do it for now...
