I’m still here…at the hospital! I’m feeling slightly better, but still pretty blah. Yesterday I reached my post chemo nadir level. The nadir level is when all my blood counts are at the lowest point. This is a great thing as long as I get past it without catching anything. Most of my levels should start improving now. My fever has subsided so I’m one step closer to going home!

Although, my hemoglobin fell just below the normal level this morning so there is discussion of a possible blood transfusion tomorrow. Hemoglobin is the protein in your red blood cells that carry oxygen to all your organs and tissues. That could explain why I’m sooo sleepy. I’m still sleeping 16+ hours per day. Fun fact, I still haven’t turned on the TV in my room in the last five days. 

I would prefer not to have the transfusion. I’ve already got a lot of antibodies and a transfusion could add more to complicate future health issues. Since the hemoglobin is just below normal and I have reached my nadir, we hope my levels will be higher in the morning and this can be avoided.

Thank you all for showering me with prayers and positive vibes during this miserable ride🥰😍❤️
