Day +8: Absolute Zero

Yesterday Vicki's ANC went to zero. The mouth sores are very painful and today her tongue is so swollen she cannot eat or drink anything. They have started giving her dilaudid for the pain. Mercifully the dilaudid makes her sleep most of the time. She's not alert or energetic enough to check e-mail so if you've been corresponding you might not hear from her for a while.

They also started giving her nupagen injections over the last couple of days. These will stimulate her body to produce blood cells.
