Today wasn't the best day ever. She spent a lot of the day sleeping and laying around. I gave her a bath and Isabelle helped hold a wash cloth over her port, so it didn't get wet. After her bath she was in a good enough mood that she picked out an outfit to wear. It didn't take her long to go back into her worn out mood. My parents bought the girls a swing set, so we can have one in the backyard. That is good because we aren't going to be able to take her anywhere for a long time. After my dad put it together I was able to convince Isabelle to go outside and check it out. She was too weak to walk, so we carried her and Sabrina. Sabrina loved it and was running all over the place. Isabelle really liked the swing that was shaped like a saucer, so she could just lay on it. We were out there for a good 15 minutes before she was too exhausted and wanted to go back inside to lay down. 15 minutes of play is better than nothing.
Around 6pm Isabelle came down with a case of the runs. It was so bad that she pooped herself 4 times. I went ahead and put a pull up on her because it was so bad she just couldn't control it. She was crying because her butt was so raw it was bleeding. I put her prescriped butt cream on her, but it didn't seem to do much. I spoke to the doctor today and they said there is nothing that they can give her for it. She goes in tomorrow for more chemo at 1:15 in the afternoon.
Her Counts last night : Red blood cells -8.7
Platelets - 119
ANC (total white blood cell count) - 73.8 ( under 500 is considered neutraphenic)
Her RBC have gone down and her ANC has gone down since Tues. I'm not sure if they'll do a transfusion on her tomorrow.
