STEADY AS SHE GOES!
I DID NOT GET TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL TODAY, BOBBIE'S FRIEND CARRIE NIX WENT AND SPENT THE DAY WITH HER. HER MARTIN LEFT WORK EARLY TO BE WITH HER TOO, THEY STARTED THE CHEMO TODAY. HE SAID SHE DID WELL, BUT THE AMMONIA LEVELS IN HER BLOOD ARE ESCALATED AND THAT IS WHAT IS CAUSING THE LETHARGY AND CONFUSION. THE MEDICATION TO CLEAR THE BLOOD IS A LIQUID, AND BOBBIE CAN'T SEEM TO SWALLOW VERY WELL, SO THEY ARE PUTTING A TUBE DOWN HER NOSE INTO HER STOMACH. THAT WILL HELP HER SO MUCH AND ALSO ANOTHER WAY TO GIVE HER NUTRITION. TOMORROW, SHE GETS THE BIG GUNS. THE CHEMO TOMORROW WILL TAKE 22 HOURS TO COMPLETE- I AM FRIGHTENED FOR HER AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO REALLY CAUSE SIDE EFFECTS. SHE IS A FIGHTER, AND IS WILLLING TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO SURVIVE THIS. I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD BE IN THE MIDDLE OF SUCH A SITUATION, TO SEE HER STRUGGLE SO BRAVELY FOR HER LIFE. I WILL HAVE MORE NEWS TOMORROW, THANKS ALL- LOVE, NANASEE
