Round and round we go


With her final chemo last night and half way through ATG she was able to hold down some food today and her energy improved.  We are very grateful for that but there seems to be a steady stream of things that pop up to worry about.  A couple days ago we learned that the test for MRSA all patients get on entry came back positive.  Now everyone has to wear yellow gowns around her and another antibiotic is added to her soup. Then I noticed a red streak near one port incision that could indicate infection so we adopted that worry. Also a cough came up last night that required an X-ray but that came back clean.  Now the cough is back.  Then there was the low blood pressure today that could have meant a trip to ICU but luckily didn't.  Now a slight heart murmur.  This is an exercise in being able to see the forest through the trees!
