Well things continue to have twists and turns. As we showed up today and was getting checked in Mom was found to have a temperature of 102. The Doctor did a quick check and determined that she has an infection. He was not quite sure exactly what but Mom was feeling a little strange, but thought it was nerves. We had to reschedule the treatment until Monday and he ordered some blood work and an intravenous antibiotic treatment to be done. It was a little dissapointing, but we were thankful to be in Dr. Pritchard's care. It did give Mom a chance to get use to the facilities and the nurses. One other blessing was for us to be put next to a good friend of Tim's Heather. Her name is Jennifer Saylor. She was there getting treatment for Lymphoma. This is her third time with her cancer. She helped us understand a lot of what's going on. Mom will be on some oral antibiotics through the weekend to help with the infection and we hope to be back on Monday.

ReplyDeleteAs you have always said Mom, "The Lord arranges things!" Sorry that you have an infection, but so glad that Heather's friend was there to talk with you about the chemo treatments. Maybe on Monday you won't be so nervous. You are one couragous Mom and we love and admire you so much! We will be praying that all goes well on Monday. Love, Becky
ReplyDeleteHi Mom. We are home form Budapest and looking forward to talking with you. My Grandma Elda who turned 90 on September 30 was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004. We just celebrated 6 years cancer free with her at her birthday party! She is going to pray for you every day and so will we. Keep your spirits up. We hope your infection is healed soon so you can move forward with treatment feeling strong. Love, Bob and Alicia
ReplyDeleteHey Mom, Our prayers continue to ascend to the heavens on your and Dad's behalf. We know that your infection will be healed so that you will begin treatment. Like you say, you are taking this a day at a time, the Lord has a reason for each step in the process and he has arranged this step as well. Glad that you are meeting up with survivors. We love you so much for your and Dad's great examples of faith!
