ValleyRD Mailing List: Fwd: Lila update---3/20/2011

[Bob Heiser (w7ikt]

-------- Original Message --------  Lila was released from the hospital Saturday morning.  This was round #4 of her chemo treatment.  It went fairly well, she has had and is continuing to have some blood pressure problems.  We assume this is being caused by some of the chemo used in the treatment. 
 
This round of treatment was like round #2 and it caused blood pressure problems.  Following round #2 was the time her blood pressure dropped so low we had to call an ambulance and haul her to the hospital.  We are watching carefully this time be sure she does not get dehydrated. 
 
This round has caused her to be weak and tired.  Have not done much Saturday afternoon and today.  We were able to go to church this morning and grocery shopping this afternoon, with a nap in between.
 
She will need to go to the hospital Monday, Wednesday and Friday this week.  Blood test all three days and a spinal tap Wednesday.  We are hopeful that they will get things together for the stem cell transplant by the middle of April.
 
FYI---We are changing RV Parks.  We move on Tuesday to Lake View RV Resort, 11991 S. Main Str., Houston, TX  77035.  Lake View is a newer park, more concrete and grass.  South Main RV Park is a OLD park.  The streets are coming apart, the sewer system is breaking down, lots of gravel, dirt and dust.  We hope Lake View will be a much cleaner park.  We are going to miss the friends that we have made here at South Main.  Hopefully we will keep in contact with them after we move.
 
Also, we have come to dislike the manager of South Main RV park a bunch.  It is time to move.
