Yesterday went from bad to worse. I felt so bad for Alyssa. She was having a very bad emotional day. Everything thing was coming to a head for her. She was suppose to graduate from BYU, she was in the hospital, she was sick and it was her birthday.
They couldn't get her pain under control from her mouth sores. She couldn't keep anything down and she just felt miserable. It is so frustrating when you can't help her. Around 6 this morning they put her on the pain medicine pump. That seemed to help with the pain but she still can't keep anything down. She said this morning that she just feels strange. We talked to the nurse and she was going to talk to the doctor and see if the pain medicine is too strong for her or if they need to change the medicine.
I hope that she doesn't have to endure this pain too long. I don't know how much more she can take. They tell her that the pain will go away as soon as her numbers start coming back. As of this morning she was still at zero. She received her first shot to help her neutraphils to come in yesterday.
On a side note, we still haven't sold our house. Kirk's job is working out nicely working from home. He loves the commute! Kelsey has decided to go to Broadview University studying to be a vet. technician. Bryan is still trying to decide what school to go to. He has decided that he wants to do something with web pages. I guess the world keeps going on even though we feel like it has stopped since we started this ordeal.
Alyssa...Hang in there. You have come so far. I wish I had half the strength you have. I would certainly take away some of the hurt if I could. We share the disease....why can't we share the aches and pains too?
