Feb 7th- First Day of Chemo

Tuesday- Jessie had her first dose of chemotherapy. Drug is idirubicin. It only takes 15 minutes by IV to get into your system. She has been getting the ATRA every 12 hours for many days now. She felt OK until later in the evening. Then she started feeling nauseous. She slept through the night mostly, but was woken up to be given nausea medicine. She is also receiving anti-fungal and anti-bacterial medicine to prevent infections. I think on this particular night her blood pressure went lower than the nurses expected. 90/40.  They gave her lots of IV fluids to try to bring her blood pressure back up. She was in a deep sleep.
