Harder & Harder

May God bless and comfort Christi
Helpful Sissy tucks Christi in (again).
Mommy & Christi
Today's Radiation
Sleeping Warrior













As this is becoming more and more difficult to write about, I’ll be quite
brief:

*Christi’s pain is under better control since the narcotics were
increased today.
*Christi’s LDH (which measures the aggressiveness of the tumor cells)
went from 2,500 last week to 12,899 today. (Normal 420-700)
*Christi’s chemotherapy was discontinued today due to the
aggressiveness of this damn, evil disease which I will curse to my grave.
*Shayne and I met with the palliative care team to start to work out
our transition back home, most likely next week.
*Christi received radiation to her brain and her left leg today.
*Christi’s blood pressure continues to be high while her heart beat is
low (not a good combination).
*Christi was awake about 30 minutes today and ate a few bites of
cereal.
*We thank the sweet ladies at the Penn Vet Hospital for taking Shayla
for many hours today as we were on continuous adult conversations.
*During a long reality chat with Shayla she finally told me her
feelings. “I don’t want to be an only child,” was the first of many sentences
out of her mouth.
