Morning all! The grownups here had a rough night of sleep. Michelle got into a bit of a cycle of vomiting. The anti-vomiting pills wouldn't stay down. It seemed to stop around 3am but don't know for sure. I'm very grateful I have an extra set of hands today.
I've dropped all the kidlets off at their respective schools. Michelle and her sister are heading to Nashua so that Michelle can get a MUGA scan (just Google it) and her Neulasta® shot. She seems to be doing much better than late last night. I'm home VPN'd into work and once again deep in the bowels of texture compression schemes. (related link)
65°F, sunny, but WINDY! After dropping the kids off at school in the rain, I'll take it!
I went out for a bite. Michelle is still in Nashua. Her MUGA scan took longer than she planned and oncology decided to rehydrate her intravenously after last night's issues.
Everyone is back home now: the ladies from oncology, the kids from school. I am so relieved! We found out why Michelle got so sick late last night. Her IV yesterday was (accidentally) missing one of the anti-nausea drugs so she was less protected against a typical chemo reaction. We were worried that her body was becoming less tolerant of the drugs. Now we know it was a prescription/pharmacy oversight.
This graphics/DSP guy is a wee bit jealous. Michelle got to watch her heart beating on a screen in real time. She was describing it to me and thought it was pretty cool to watch. Hail the MUGA scan! (related link)

Comment: Yay! The UPS guy just swung by and this time it wasn't gifts we've purchased for our kids. My DVD of http://The13thDay.com/ arrived from Amazon. Am I too old to say "Woot!" ?
