Mom went all of yesterday without throwing up! Her appointment with Dr Whisenant gave us a clue as to why she has been so tired. She is anemic; even more so than when she was on Chemo and Radiation! They are going to do additional tests on the blood draws from yesterday and decide what to do about it. She will probably need iron and B12 but they both have to get into her stomach as opposed to going thru her feeding tube and into her intestines. So, this means she may have to have them injected. He will tell us more later as the other results come in.
Today, dad is going in to start his physical with Dr. Potter. The office made an appointment for mom too because Dr. Potter hasn't seen her since she started all this. He has kept up all along the way and called once in a while to make sure she was doing ok. He is a great doctor who sincerely cares about his patients and wants to make sure they have the best care.
All in all, mom is feeling pretty good and is confident about her day today as well.
