Not a lot to report tonight, which is a good thing! I arrived in the morning after dropping Ralph at the airport (still hard to believe there aren't signs for the Burbank airport, but... it's true) and my mom was sitting up in bed, looking at her phone. Compared to yesterday morning, this was a big improvement.
All in all, today was much steadier than yesterday. She was off her nausea medicine for most of the day, took a short walk, and seemed determined to stay awake for more of the day than she has been. We had about two and a half hours this morning talking and reading emails, and that's a nice stretch of time for her at this stage
Counts today continued to be good - platelets at 140, and WBC at 3.3. There are three criteria for discharge from the hospital - blood counts, ambulation, and ability to keep food down. She's got the blood counts, and we're working on the other two!
Highlight of the day was certainly FaceTime-ing with Una and Kofi (and Nora and Ainate). Una started crying when we got on the phone, but settled in nicely for some cooing and fidgeting once her moms turned on the tv (don't tell the mommy bloggers on them).
Sorry, I'm realizing today's report is a little... boring? But boring is good. More days like today, please.
