Day 25 - Faye's pain and nausea go up and down but it's getting a tiny bit better every day. Steve took her to the hospital today for CBC and an Pentamidine infusion which is anti-viral/pneumonia medicine. The Pentamidine is powerful and causes extreme nausea and discomfort - it is ironic that so many of these medicines make you sick. 

Great news, Faye is officially off of TPN but will keep the Broviac until blood counts hold steady on their own.  We will go in Thursday morning for a consultation on the additional radiation and chemotherapy that will follow.  Ugh.  Still fighting the good fight knocking on wood and crossing fingers and toes that none of us get a bug or virus for the next three months (or more!).  ~L
