I have continued to get worse over the past couple days. With the pain and everything else, I haven’t had any actual sleep in about 3 days. I’ve had a couple small naps on purpose, but at this point the most sleep I get is from slipping in and out of consciousness. I’ve hardly been able to eat anything; all I managed today was half of a strawberry smoothie and a few sips of a milkshake.

Most of my medicines have been switched over to IV and I’ve been getting oxy and dilaudid to try to manage the pain. They’ve given me some medicated lotion to help with the itching as well as the rash where my PICC line used to be.

I’m starting to slip out of consciousness again, so that’s all I can do for now.

Last night’s blood counts:

White blood cells: <0.1 (finally at rock bottom, please come back up soon)

Hemoglobin: 7.8

Platelets: 30
