Adrienne always said that she has had every kind of venous access device except for a PICC line. Now she has one of those thanks to lots of IV Ativan, which she'll get around the clock to help with nausea and anxiety.
Her breathing was bad again today and they wanted to intubate and do a bronc. We asked to try the BiPAP again and she is doing much better on it, especially with the Ativan on board. Some people can't tolerate it but she's a champ.
Chemo will start around 7 pm. She needed some drugs to prevent tumor lysis syndrome and those will be done then. Her nurse is a chemo nurse from Fred Hutch and she's going to stay tonight to make sure everything goes well (thank you Kathy). It only takes about 1.5 hours to infuse everything. Adrienne has had 2 of the drugs before and found them pretty easy to deal with so let's hope it's the same this time. She tends to have worse reactions as time goes on. Her platelets were only 40 today so they'll be keeping a close eye on that.
She's resting comfortably right now.
Curt went to see Naomi earlier. She didn't recognize him. This doesn't sound good. We love you, Naomi.
