Late to post today; things are still holding steady. The attending doc told us that if we only see her at the beginning and end of each day, Zoe is doing well. It's when we start seeing her in the middle of the day that we will know that Zoe is heading into scary territory.
So far, we are only seeing the doc at the bookends of the day.
Zoe is still eating by mouth, and her mostly good mood is being maintained. Her last dose of Busulfan was last night at 2am. Today they've been constantly testing her sodium levels to make certain they're at appropriate levels before they start the Cytoxan. As her levels have been low, they have been infusing her with saline to raise them to appropriate levels.
The process is still on schedule.
I got to go out with some girlfriends tonight and have a fruity cocktail; Jeff gets to go out with his buddies tomorrow night. Somehow a rhythm is emerging in our process. Even Zoe is settling into a routine of wakefulness, sleep, and play times.
Tomorrow the intensity will ramp up. We are told that she will feel worse with the Cytoxan and ATG. My baby trooper.
