My mom has not had the best week and it's all because she needs a drink - well, sort of. My mom had to go in to the hospital twice this week to get hydrated because her fluids were so low. She's been drinking 64oz of fluids every day, like they told her, but it just wasn't enough. She asked the doctor why she was doing so badly after this last chemo and he told her that they were hitting her really hard with the treatments and that they were starting to build up in her body. In essence, her body can't get rid of all of the chemo before her next chemo treatment so the chemo is slowly building up.
On a happier note, my mom did sound a lot better last night after her second trip to get hydrated. So, hopefully, she'll have a good week for Thanksgiving.
Drink up, mom!
Also, it's my brother-in-law's and my sister-in-law's birthdays today. Happy Birthday!
