Upadte from Elaine
Today nausea left Kate feeling a little out of it most of the day. At 6:00pm Kate decided to call it a day. She received a dose of the anti nausea medication that wipes her out and should rest peacefully for the night.
Kate's hemoglobin count dropped - when this happens she often feels pretty wrung out and nausea seems to become an issue. We're anticipating a RBC transfusion tomorrow which usually helps Kate to feel better all the way around.
Despite the nausea Kate enjoyed taking in the conversations of friends who visited this morning and Maggie and Grammie and Pappy this afternoon.
Kate has won the hearts of many of the medical staff who are involved in her care. People around here are captured by the sweet personality and gentle ways of Kate. Most would do whatever they could for Kate. Today Kate, wearing her sweetest smile, asked her nurse if please, please, please Grace (our puppy) could come for a visit:) Dogs are not allowed on the oncology floor and tranplant patients aren't even allowed out in the oustide hall to see visiting therapy dogs, so Kate's nurse very kindly told her that while she'd do almost anything for her, that having Grace come to visit wasn't something that she could make happen. So no doubt, when Kate is discharged there will be a very happy reunion between Kate and Grace.
We are encouraged each day knowing you continue to journey along side of us in prayer.
Thank you for the many cards, emails, blog messages and calls of encouragement that you send our way.
Grace,
Elaine
