Last night was a real test for Jenn... The Chemo is starting to make the nausea intensify and she was up a lot of the night. She actually is in great spirits again this morning and I can tell you all that one bad night isn't going to bring Jenn down.
Jenn will be receiving a blood transfusion today and that typically perks her up for a while. Her Hemoglobin was a little low and that is typical with Chemo treatments, so this should not be alarming news at all.
Jenn is off one of the Chemo treatments that was slowly injected for 20 minutes per day, so we are almost half-way through the Chemo treatments themselves. Her Doctor is off for the next week or so and she has a new doctor that is really thorough as well and only wants to see Jennifer comfortable and healthy. The entire staff is constantly aiming to please and has done an exceptional job to date.
Jenn has been reading the Stieg Larsson trilogy lately and just started the second book titled "The Girl Who Played with Fire", she also got the movie trilogy from her mother, so once she is done finishing the books she can watch the movies.
Jenn couldn't watch the game here last night as we found out the hard way that streaming isn't allowed by the hospital. She is really excited that they won again last night and was very happy that Miller got the shutout.
On a lighter note, Dr Miller had a great beer conversation with us yesterday and showed us that he really has quite the human side as well. He is a big fan of the Duck-Rabbit Stout for anyone looking to try a new bold beer. The Pharmacists (Dragos, I love this name!) likes the Great Lakes Winter Ale for those looking for a lighter beer. It's my B-day today, so my dad, Jenn's mom and I are going to Lebowski's (a Buffalo themed bar here in Charlotte) to celebrate and to have some wings and a beef on weck.
Now that we got the beer lists completed, we would again like to thank everyone for their love and support and keep sending the well wishes as Jenn loves to hear the comments.
Much Love from Room 4912!!
