Oahu day
Very quick review.
Got here at 930am and zipped to hospital, checked in and got into room. Private room. Same as before.
Worked through the steps to get to the IV treatment. Received platelets after the 4K platelet count. It was somewhat worrisome to make the flight after not really knowing the count. I think it went well,
L stayed hone to tend to her condition but will likely travel out Saturday to sit with me.
A new feature is the PICC line in my arm. This is run up to the Central Vein in my chest via a vein in my right arm. A specialist nurse does this and it went well. I expected more discomfort but maybe it helped that she used the numb arm. What this does it set up a bendable IV in my arm that can be left there all weekend. They can easily access the IV anytime and no additional pokes are needed.
Now it's night. There were several prep items, such as a testing for reactions using a TB-like test in my skin to see how it reacts.
Crossing my fingers that this treatment will do the 'trick' for you. How quickly will they know if it's working? I know you're looking forward to Lisa getting there. Love and prayers, Pam
