Sandi Hospitalized

I just got home from the hospital. Sandi has been admitted to Medical City Dallas Hospital in order to fight the infection and additional leg swelling as her leg is now nearly three times bigger than it should be and is massively discolored. They also will be running a new ultrasound and most likely an MRI at the very least.

Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers if you would. There is no timetable at this point for her release.


9:30 PM UPDATE---Patient is extremely unhappy as, according to her, there have been numerous medication errors involving her insulin, blood pressure drugs, and other medications. Because the nurses would not listen to her she notified the emergency services of both the endocrinologist and the cancer doctor as to the issues.

She is currently receiving her second bag of antibiotic IV through her port. They have done an ultrasound and according to the tech the pictures were in pretty bad shape due to the fluid in her leg. The tech thinks the leg will have to be drained and then they can try again, but stresses that is the call of the doctor.

I am hoping that things will settle down soon and she can get some sleep. She never got her multi hour afternoon nap today so I am sure that is not helping things tonight. Somehow Sandi is still up and going after being awake since 7 am. If I didn't know better I would think she was back on the high dose steroids.
