Little E learned how to give a subcutaneous injection today. She watched me prepare mom's neupogen white blood cell booster and then recited each step after we disposed of the syringe.
I told her she could practice giving the shot with some extra syringes we had on hand. My suggestion that she practice injecting an orange with some vodka we have chilling in the freezer was met with a puzzled look. Organic screwdriver. MmmMmm.
Mom spent part of today on ice. As with the last 2 cycles, her temperature rises during the day and she has to put up with numerous rounds of temperature-taking, urges to "Drink!" and frozen objects arranged all over her body. The magic number is 101.5F. We don't worry as long as we can get her temp moving downward fairly quickly.
By evening she was cooler, feeling better and ready to eat. If this cycle follows the others, this will last for a couple more days.
