I got Cheryl piled onto a flight to PDX this morning, and the plan was for her to return to Moscow tonight, however, once she got there and the docs looked at her lab work, they decided that they'd better keep her overnight to get some fluids and vitamins in her (which is what I've been saying for weeks now; one cannot live on toast and Ensure shakes forever), and they'll run some tests to figure out why she's still nauseous and vomiting despite being on practically every anti-nauseal drug known to mankind.
They're brining in an gastroenterologist later today and they might do the ol' camera-in-the-tummy routine again (my suspicion: Bitey and Co. are clogging the exit to the stomach, making it hard for food to get through. Remember, though, I'm not a doctor, I just play one on the Internet).
Accordingly, they've put off the 2nd dose of ipilumimab until they get this straightened away. On the plus side, aside from the constant nausea, Cheryl's been doing reasonably better, only vomiting once every two or three days instead of two or three times a day. That may not sound like much improvement, but we'll take what we can get.
Hopefully we'll have some news in the next 24 hours, and it'll be good news. As always, happy thoughts are much appreciated.
