Lisa didn't sleep well last night, and this morning her blood pressure is low, hovering around 90 over 50.  She's drinking fluids and has had some saltines with peanut butter, and it's helping the blood pressure move up a little.  She's mostly feeling very fatigued and is drifting in and out of sleep in the recliner.  This type of fatigue/weakness is an expected result of the current chemo, but of course we always wonder how much of it might be due to progression of the disease if the chemo isn't being effective -- but there no reason not to just presume it's the side-effects of the chemo at this point.

Since the house doesn't have an intercom, I've set up FRS radios so that she can reach me anywhere in or around the house with just one button if she wakes up and needs something.
