I made another trip to ICU and brought lunch for my brother. It's heart clenching to see that he does not want to eat the food my mother prepared. I am finding him very picky on food even though he is sick..lol! Well, at least he is really aware of his surrounding and know he wants. Even though he is difficult to be pleased, I am happy that he is alert.
The doctor has stopped giving him chemo drug (citabine i think) and letting him to recover for bone marrow. I hope within these few days, his white blood count and platelet will rise and show a positive sign of recovering. After that, he will go through bone marrow transplant to replace the lost precursor blood cell. I hope he will get well soon by end of this month or mid-March. I can't wait to see him walking out from the bed.
Right after I left the medical ICU, he was taken for ultrasound to do a check on his liver. He has jaundiced (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaundice) and hope that liver is working well. Chemo drug does so much detrimental to a body aside from killing the leukemia.
Now, I have 10 minutes left before another third round to the ward. Being inside the ward and hearing all the beeping sounds making me more dizzy hehe... I am thankful that during this time, I have relatives around giving great support. Their visits to the ward helps to lighten my load and brings a new atmosphere for my brother. I think he is getting bored of seeing me all the time now. ..haha.
