Sandi Update

What we had hoped was nothing more than a side effect of the white blood shot she got Tuesday has turned into a raging case of.....something. Sandi is very sick, running a fever, and tests are being done to see if it is a version of the flu, an upper respiratory infection, or something else. Chest x-rays were taken and things are being evaluated. At least some fluid is in her lungs at this point, which is very bad as it could easily trigger a return of the nuemenitis or something way worse.

The bottom line is that they know for sure she is very sick.....with what is the big question.

The rest of her blood work was also not good today. In fact, it was very bad.

So, she has received an IV antibiotic and fluids.

Tomorrow, we have to be back down there just after the crack of dawn so she can be given more IV antibiotics as well as two units of blood. Despite the fact she is so sick the blood transfusion has to be done because her numbers are so low. There is no choice on the matter.

It has been a brutally long day for both of us--we just got home having left just before 9 am--- and tomorrow promises to be way worse.
