Piggare och aptit tillbaka igår
More alert and apetite back yesterday
ENGLISH: Joyce was rather alert and felt fairly good yesterday for the first time in quite a while. This morning she had no fever but later it started climbing again. At the moment (10:10 AM) it is back down again after receiving her paracetamol pill (fever reducing medicine) an hour ago. Preliminary results, from the cultures taken the night when she was brought back in the ambulance, show that she has staphylococcus bacteria in her blood. Therefore she will be getting a different brand of antibiotics for a while. The doctors are glad though that Joyce has not had any really scary infections this far into the treatment – after all Joyce has no immune system of her own right now due to the chemo she has gone through. Prayer: That the infection does not establish itself around her new CVC.

Mamma, it's great seeing you awake and smiling! I hope you will get your energy back, and that your body has the chance to recover and grow stronger. I love you Mom! Don't ever forget that!! Sending you a great big hug!!
SvaraRaderaLove you,
