chemo day 3

"Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my sighing. Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God. For to you I pray. In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation." Psalm 5:1-3
Katrina finished her Methotrexate at 3;00 this AM. Blood labs were drawn to determine how to proceed with chemo. We were recently told the blood results were good and the next thing, Cytarabine (IV) was ordered. Once it is up from pharmacy, the nurses will start that. Twelve hours after the Methotrexate finished, they will begin Citrovorum Rescue which, we are told, removes the Methotrexate that she got. So that will be around 3 this afternoon. From our chart, it looks like she'll also get the IV steroid today too. No other tests or anything are needed today that we know of. The doctor will be rounding a bit later today, I assume since it is Saturday. Katrina is feeling well this AM. She has ordered her breakfast then is ready to get up and go for a walk. Lori

  6. Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O Lord. They rejoice in your name all day long; they exult in your righteousness. For you are their glory and strength, and by your favor you exalt our horn. Psalm 89:15-17

    Still praying for you daily,
    Tom and Janice
