Aug 14th (Monday) Week 2

Each Monday is blood tests.

We got here at 8:15am, but it took about an hour to get our blood drawn. They only have one person who generally does blood work in the morning.

We ran home to get a bite to eat. They want you to eat before it bags.

We came back to the clinic and hooked up the port from earlier that morning into a phos iv. That finished at about noon.

Mom took a keyboard test for Dr. Powell to see how her brain works. She scored pretty high! We also had a phone call with Dr. Powell regarding her EEG. He said she did amazing for a 70 woman. He was really quiet surprised!

After that we got out glyoxal butt shot. This was the first of 6 that actually hurt mom. It was fine for me. I actually left my leg just off the ground and breath really deep. Don't know if that is what makes a difference or not.

It's 2:45 and we just got our first push. It's called a"dip" because they acutely dip the needle into the serum then into our port. This is just a taste of the medicine to see how our body responds to the med before administering larger amounts.

We have to stay here for an hour or so, in case they need to give us anything.
