days_unfoldingMy mom's white cell count is basically nonexistent, so they've stopped the chemo. Now her platelet count is low too. They basically have her staying home in isolation, and taking her temperature every few hours to make sure that she isn't getting an infection. Christmas is up in the air, depending on how she's doing. Not that I really care about Christmas. I'm worried about my mom.
We talked about three Christmas scenarios: the original plan, in which she comes down here, and then we go up to Chicago for a few days; my going up there to Detroit for Christmas if she's allowed to see people, but doesn't feel up to the drive; and not getting together for Christmas if they won't allow her to see anyone. Two of those scenarios involve getting a pet sitter, so I'm going to see if the pet sitter is available and explain that everything is up in the air right now.
I'm also going to wrap my aunt and uncle's presents in case I need to mail them to Chicago. Finding a mailing box would be good too.
I guess all I can do is keep on keeping on, but I feel like screaming.
