After a hard day of keeping food and pills down Cathi has landed back in a room at KU Medical center. Her sister Mari took her in early this morning and she was admitted into room 4102 in the BMT section. So we are back the social hours with the nurses and limited guests in the BMT section.
This week had progressed well with Cathi getting back home last Saturday and slow improvements in the WBC's. Her count reached .9 this week, and the absolute neutrophil has reached .6. The magic number on the neutrophil is 1 and then a whole new diet opens. Except that food rarely stays down which is a downer.
Her spirits are not where they should be as the plan was to board a plane and travel to Chicago for the baptism of Ella and Harrison. With the exception of the vomiting the she was progressing towards being able to go. Tuesday she had to concede and pass on the trip to Chicago. So now it is just another weekend with her brother and Mom, and not the fun and excitement of grand kids and the big city.
Her resolve and target remains the same; to get past the vomiting and keep the dinners down.

Hi Cathi
I'm sorry you're not going to Chicago for the baptisms. Hopefully Conor and Annie will be able to bring Harrison and Ella for a visit very soon.
Sending big big hugs and healing thoughts for your poor sore tum and throat.
lots of love #2 GOT
