Sarah's Appointment, Day 8 - Consolidation

Sarah had an appointment today.  Her blood test were good, except her hematocrit is dropping.  We expected this since she is getting more tired.  She ANC number was still good, as was her platelets.  The will check the blood again on Friday.  It will allow us to see where she is at for the weekend.  She doesn't adjust well after she wakes up from the sedation for the back pokes (spinal tap).  I tried to give her some sprite shortly after she woke up.  She yelled at me and hit the sprite out of my hand on the floor.  I know why most of the floors in the hospital are not carpet and easy to clean.

Lilly has a homework assignment to create a poster for school on what she did this summer.  It was fun to watch her and Jess work through different ideas and place things on the poster.  Scrap-booking is something I know Jess likes to do and is good at, but she hasn't really had time to do any of it since we were married.  She enjoys being a mom and she is good at that too.  Lilly is putting things like the Zoo and swimming on the poster.  She is trying to find a picture of someone in the hospital as well, since that is truly the highlight of our summer.

Thanks again for all the support and thoughts and prayers.
