Thank you! Bella and I are going to have fun today going through the messages! Bella is definitely "blue". Last night and this morning she has been so weepy praying to go home and to get her old life back. As I was just starting to discuss happy pills as an option,with the nurse, a miracle walked in the door. Ruth! Our Chinese alternative medicine doctor. We will see what we can do with alternative medicine first to pep her up before going on zoloff. I guess many cancer patients are on zoloff for depression. She has pepped up enough to eat some Cheerios. She doesn't want to be here for Easter. Her nose and eye are still in a lot of pain from the nose packing. We are waiting for the Ear, Nose, throat doctor to make an appearance. We hope to get the packing out today but her platelets need to be at 50 to take it out. She will get her second platelet transfusion shortly to try to up her numbers. They are concerned to take the packing out just in case she starts bleeding horribly again. Her temperature goes down to 100 when she has Tylenol but after four hours it keeps spiking back up to 103. Thank you for all of the thoughts and prayers. It's so hard especially thinking about being in the hospital for Easter. val
