Re-admitted

We are back at the hospital. Apparently the 3rd time is a charm. Went to the clinic all 3 days and today with a fever. When we arrived the fever was at 100.9. We got into the room and they reaccessed her port and took some blood. Her levels came back very low. Platelets were at 21 which is what they were the first time we arrived at the hospital and her ANC was 50. They also took a blood culture and did another urine test. Her 1st test from Tuesday came back with glucose in it. So now they need to see if they need to intervene and start giving her insulin because this is a side effect of 2 of the chemos. They can effect the way her pancreas works and make her a diabetic either temporarily or for life. They will run blood sugar levels and check for glucose every time she urinates. We will see what the results are hopefully by tomorrow. For now she is confined to her room because of the hand foot and mouth. When we the family leave we must put a gown and gloves and then take them off when we re-enter the room so that we don't give it to anyone else. But the doctor this week thinks we may not have hand foot and mouth. He will recheck tomorrow and hopefully give us the clear for at least leaving the room. Her temperature was still at 100.4 when the rechecked at 9:30. If the fever clears with the antibiotics we may get to go home on Friday but we can only take it one day at a time. Tomorrow we still will do another round of chemo. The vincristine. Did I mention my husband is out of town?? He is in Texas. Back on Saturday. I don't thinks it's really fair to drag him back here when there is nothing he can do for her here. Let's all pray for a quick recovery.

"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." ~Matthew 6:34
