The white cell counts are back in a normal range. Huge improvement from yesterday's number. So officially she's not neutropenic now. But still fighting the infection and some dehydration.
She has been sleeping all day, no food intake, no conversation, and occasional moans. Extremely sensitive to having her legs moved, or even the calf slightly squeezed. The oncology doctor ordered an ultrasound on the legs (I was NOT in the room to share that pain of that test, 'just' an ultrasound wand pressing on a sensitive area); the infectious disease doctor added an order to CT the abdomen, because she complained bitterly when he push-tested. Results: no clots in legs; nothing beyond lymphoma in the abdomen.
In other words, no answers. I'm now thinking she is experiencing extreme delirium.
The oncology doctor said she can still have chemo treatment when she's better. Next Thursday's treatment will be pushed out a week. The "chemical" side will be reduced by 25%; the antibody treatment can stay at full dose.
