Valentine's Day Hello's

Progress comes in small pieces. Saturday it was No vomiting!!! and Keeping breakfast down AND protein shakes. This is such good news Ms Cathi ventured out to try some caffeine free diet coke, (no Pepsi, coke). But not the individually wrapped heart-shaped caramel filled Valentines chocolates brought by the dining staff.
She took a trip to get another CT scan. They are concerned because she is not remembering things, even right after they happened. Have they not met our mother, or Grandmother in Margaret's case. At least she has not lost her glasses on her head.... I think, oh yeah I'm a product of my mother as well, I can't recall if she lost her glasses on her head either. We had another Ace transport Gal #549. She stayed by Captains side, and even bumped her up a few spots in the waiting line. The results are in CT Scan of sinuses from a couple of days ago is "all clear."
Temperature was all over the place Saturday. We have good days and bad days with the temperature, so it spiked in the night and then went lower than normal. Not to worry as some temp was from getting a bag of blood, which is not unusual to get a spike in temp while the red guys are dropping in. Warm blankets were the theme for the day. The first one was to warm(toasted in odor actually 'like burnt french fries') But the next one was just right.
Highlight of Valentines day was Harrison popping up for a web cam Valentine hug. Got some good laughs with his vomit antics. Mark came by for a visit this evening and she was very happy. She always pulls lots of good energy from Mark's visits. Must be his Redneck Carma....
Kstate/KU game on this afternoon & Cathi now has the staff lined up rooting for KState. All this direction to get a cheering team for KState and then she slept through as KSU gave away the game to KC.
Cathi is up walking laps regularly, 3 walks on Saturday, last one was two laps around the hall. Not yet an Olympic contender, but good for a someone who is still not feeling 100%. No news on increased blood counts, but Dr's still willing to wait and see. Maybe a biopsy midweek to check the marrow. She has the prerequisite joint pain from the neupogen shots, so she will wait & see and think about little white guys growing in Cathi.
