Roller Coaster Ride

One hour she's up and feeling great. The next she's retching and the headache is back. The doctor recommends caffeine which she has been doing when she feels she can keep it down. The other thing that seemed to help her yesterday (which preceded the singing in the shower feeling good) was a bolus of 1000 MLs of fluid. She is getting fluid now, but only 185cc per hour. Also they consider the chemo fluid as part of that. She has two more doses of the Cyterabine to go- at 3pm today and 3 am. Then she does another poison for two days. I wonder what that one is going to do. What I wouldn't do to help her feel better and take this all away.
This is Jessie and her nurse yesterday as they walk back to her room to hook her up to the IV chemo again after her shower and roaming the halls while free of all encumbrances.
