Update after Wed's Liver Procedure

Ginny got a blood transfusion on Monday, Nov 7 and felt like a new person.  Having a supply of red blood cells to carry oxygen to the cells did wonders for her energy.  She also got a shot of white blood cell booster because she was still low going into the procedure on Wed.  Doctor said the liver embolization on the left lobe of her liver went well.  Brought her home Thurs evening and she's been sleeping ever since.  Barely can wake her up to take her anti-nausea, pain relief and antibiotic pills - yes, lots of pills to give to someone who is nauseous and throwing up.  Called the doctor on Friday and asked for some other way to give her anti-nausea meds since she can't really swallow pills right now.  Will just let her sleep for  few days.
