Holy Thursday, April 17
In yesterday's blog we mentioned that the drug Gail would be taking today did not have any significant side effects. Boy, did we get that wrong!
Today was the hardest day Gail has had since the whole process began. She began the infusion of medication around 10:30 and began feeling bad almost immediately. It made her incredibly nauseous and feeling bad overall. She also developed hives all over her body; they are treated it with a medicine via her IV.
Around 4:00 she felt good enough to open her Pandora app to listen to her spiritual music... by 5:00 she was feeling even better and had a nice long visit with the nurse while having her bandage changed. Gail was also able to take a shorter, but brisk walk this evening.
Tomorrow is a really Big Day... Day 0 and Good Friday! Thanks to everyone for sending the nice cards. Gail really appreciates all the kind and uplifting words.
No picture today... per Gail's order!
