Chemo, round 3

Things went well this past week. Bobbie has had a few problems with low blood pressure and had to go back and see the doctor. He took her off of one blood pressure medicine and told her to monitor her blood  pressure 3 times a day. If it goes back up to a certain number, she will add the blood pressure med back in. No blisters or headaches this time :)  I had a nice visit in Ohio, other than it was super cold!

Bobbie was in the mood for KFC pot pies that week, so we made several runs to the local KFC to keep her happy. The staff at the cancer center are super nice people and always joke and smile. Some of them even recognized Bobbie when we were out and about in the hospital. 

Her new wig came in while I was there. It looks great on her, but she prefers a cute hat or scarf most days. Simone said her mom always has cute matching scarves, hats and outfits. While we were at the wig store they asked Bobbie to take off her hat to try on her wig. She was reluctant, so a lady seated behind her jumped up and said, "Will this help"? She pulled off her "hair" and smiled really big. It was so sweet! She even had us all feel her new super soft, downy hair that was growing back in. It was as soft as cotton.
