Day Fifteen


Day 15
Today Britney continues to do awesome. She is receiving some red blood cells through her central line. She has noticed herself getting a little light headed when she showers. Because her red blood cells are compromised, the flow of oxygen isn’t quite good enough to her brain. The “donor” cells have what she needs, so that is what she is getting today.
Brit had a full nights rest last night thanks to some good sleeping pills. The previous 2 nights she slept horrible, so they decided she was ok to take an ambien (sleeping pill). The doctors try to avoid scheduled medication like that, but they also know her rest is important. She was happy about that decision. She got a full 8 hours and feels great.
Every day around 4 am she gets “labs” taken. This tells the doctors how she is doing. A few hours later, they come report to her. Today was another day where they had nothing new to report. They even joked and said she was “boring”. No news is good news in this situation.
As promised, here is a picture of her shorter hair cut. We colored some more today and just hung out. I love spending time with you Brit!!!
