Day +5

One more day down and quite a few more to go. All of Judy's blood numbers are at zero. She is still receiving transfusions every day to help with the count recoveries. Still has a fever and that can't be treated because the med's must be taken orally and that just can't happen at this point. They gave her a CT scan a day after the chest x-ray as another precaution, there are some things happening in her lungs they want to watch closely. So is so determined to get out of the hospital she has developed two blisters on her feet from walking. It's not because of over walking but the non-slip socks they make her wear. Just to rough on her feet. They underestimate her resolve. To top it off they send in a nurse (in training) to check her vital signs and was unable to even take a blood pressure reading. We asked her to do some things around the room and she just had this blank stare on her face, enough of that. When the primary care nurse came in we "politely" asked if then could do the training on other patients that aren't at such high risk. This is the kind of things that really make you question the judgement of our so called health care professionals. The routine remains the same for now, suction, medicate,sleep and some walking and sitting. Keep up the good vibes!
