Thank you for giving blood

Elizabeth finished chemo at 6am on Friday and got 2 units of blood that afternoon because her blood factors were so low. I feel grateful for the people who donated the blood that she was given and for people everywhere that donate blood to help save lives. She was too sick to swallow the Tylenol before the blood transfusions, but, thankfully, remained comfortable and didn't get a fever during the infusions. We were able to get her home Friday evening just before 5pm. I feel so grateful that we've been able to figure out lots of different ways to keep her nausea under control during these 5 day chemo stays. We kept her on her nausea meds going around the clock for the last few days and she's done ok and been able to eat and rest fairly well. We're excited to have a full week home and have a family dinner all together for the first time in a very long time.
