It was spa and date night last night for Heather. :-) Mark and her were able to spend some time alone last night and after getting cleaned up and lotioned up, they had a nice hospital food dinner. Mark said Heather ate a decent meal which is really good. She said everything tastes funny so even when she has an appetite she doesn't feel much like eating. They then had a little movie time and watched some "Oceans 11". Also she has a headache pain was at a '1'. When she was on her feet she was much more agile and seemed to be less shaky.
When I talked to her this morning she was not doing as well. She had an extremely sore throat and her headache was worse again. As far as medically she had a steady day. Not much improvement in any area but nothing was a bunch worse. However, urine output was up! 150cc's from 30. That is really good.
She had another round of plasmapheresis this morning and if I am remembering correctly she will take a day off from this tomorrow but I am not100% sure of that. It takes 12 plasma donors for a single round of this plasma transfer process! These are not the donors who get paid (these donations are used mainly for research) but those to take time to go to places like Michigan Blood to donate. Thank you plasma donors! (You can contact Michigan Blood for more info if you have interest in finding out how to donate).
She had three of her good friends come today and with their help she was able to take a shower and wash her hair again. (Thanks ladies! She loves you so much and appreciates you so).
I talked with my mom this evening and she said her and my dad found her in great spirits when they went up this afternoon. This may have been in part to the two little visitors she had today. Yup, Grace and Harper came to visit!
Pray specifically for a big jump in platelets and hemoglobin.
No more sore throat and headaches to be minimal at worse.
