Day +50
Clinic day
Line flush

Recap on clinic visit
  • WBC: 3.50
  • HGB: 9.6
  • Platelet: 203
  • No medication changes, continue all current supportive care

Due to weakened immune system, most hemotology/bmt patients need to receive "Pentamadine" to prevent lung infection on a monthly basis. Victoria used to get this pentamadine through her IV before the BMT.  Today, we tried the aerosolized pentamadine for the first time.  Procedure took place at Respiratory (PFT) Dept.  It was challenging but, quicker and much more fun.


Ms. Krista giving Victoria inhalation aerosol
Pentamadine is inserted into the Nebulizer and Viki inhales the vapor.
Viki didn't like it because it didn't taste like candy.
But, she was really concentrating towards the end.
 Ms. Krista okayed Viki to spit out if she needed to
Good job!  It took only 30 min.
 
The most fun part was picking the reward
Thank you, Ms. Krista for taking good care of Victoria today. See you next month!
We can't leave the clinic without stopping by the gift shop. So spoiled!

  2. 매스꺼운 맛일테지만, 끝까지 꾹 참고 다 해내는 승리 모습 정말 대견스럽다. 다른 환자들보다 센트럴라인도 일찍 떼고 하는게 승리의 적극적인 투병의지 덕이라 생각해. 우리 승리 최고!!!
