Elisa started this week with severe pain in her liver. She did tell me, this pain was more intense than last week. She also started experiencing another possible side effect this week- Elisa has had a low grade fever every day this week. Her temperature ranges from 99-100. We did contact her doctor when the fever started to ensure she did not have an infection. She is able to control the fever with Tylenol. With the fever – she felt “blah” all week. Hopefully the fever will stabilize and return to normal soon. As we all know, a fever will drain you all of your energy. We found out at her last doctor visit, her white blood cell count is reducing which is normal during chemo. This is one of the side effects of chemo. Chemo destroys cells good and bad so we should have a better understanding what her white blood cell count when we meet with the Doctor tomorrow before chemo. Hopefully her body continues to make white blood cells so they will not have to change her chemo regime.
Elisa had a CAT scan on Wednesday. Hopefully we will get some good news tomorrow when we meet with the Doctor before chemo treatment.
Elisa had a great time at Amber’s birthday party on Sunday at Jump2It in Peachtree City. Watching Amber and all her friends play on the huge inflatables and later watching Amber tear open all of her birthday gifts.
