Death Pills


Jill got her blood work back on Monday with the good news that her white blood cells were back up to a normal level. That was exciting for about 0.02 milliseconds because now its time for chemo therapy which started Monday night. It's 5 days/month for 6 months double dose (compared to the first round). Monday night consisted of Jill puking quinoa all over the bathroom most the night. We were going to post a picture of that but who knows who'll get offended by such crude blogging. Last night the promethazine (anti nausea medication) started to kick in; no pukage in the bathroom or anywhere else.

Halloween


Yesterday was Halloween and Jill had the BEST costume EVER! Vampire Head Victim was what one person called it. It was great! She covered most of the scar with fake blood leaving some of the scar exposed. People were doing double takes to try to figure out what was going on. I dressed up as Zorro, but with my blond/red mustache it looked more like Wesley from the Princess Bride. Either way worked.
We only had about 15 kids Trick or Treating which was disappointing (except for the leftover candy!) then we headed downtown which was packed with people.

Jill's blood work last week still showed a low white blood cell count so she's going to have more blood drawn tomorrow. Once the white blood cells get back to a normal level we kick them down again with the next round of chemo therapy.
