As per Phyllis's request, here's an update. Mom's 49th birthday was yesterday, but she didn't feel much like celebrating, or she celebrated unbeknownst to me and then needed to make a trip to the hospital to get some fluids. She didn't have to spend the night, just a few hours, and I believe it has helped to perk her up a little today.

She had an infusion treatment on Friday and all of her labs came back normal, including her liver enzymes and electrolytes. She's had some medicine changes over the last couple weeks, with Dr. Torres trying to find a balance between the benefits and side effects of the medications. She's just not really had much of an appetite for a few weeks now, seeing that almost everything she does eat makes her sick. She came home from her treatment and rested awhile, then felt good enough to come watch me on the sidelines at the Preston High game.
