Sandi Update

Sandi is now home after a very long day at the hospital. She was only supposed to have some lab work today, but after I explained what had been going on all weekend coupled with what she was saying when they talked to her and could get her to wake up and focus, they worked her in for a doctor visit too. It was during that they discovered she was running a fever and found a couple of other issues. They also ran some tests that came up with some answers and are running other tests that should come back with some more answers over the next couple of days.

If they had a bed for her they would have admitted her without question. The four floors in the hospital that house the cancer patients are full and have a waiting list that goes into double digits. She is so medically fragile right now they felt it was safer to send her home after they did some stuff to her than admit her on one of the other floors.  So, after pumping a bunch of fluids into her that included platelets, steroids, and some other stuff, they have sent her home with strict instructions to me on how to monitor her and when to call 911.

Assuming nothing goes wrong tonight or the next couple of days, we go back Thursday for more blood work and another doctor visit. As of right this minute, she is doing a bit better than she has in recent days.

Sandi Update

Sandi is now back home after blood work at Texas Oncology that determined she absolutely had to have platelets today. We have been warned to expect to be the hospital into the evening after her doc and lab appointments on Thursday as they expect she will have to have another unit of platelets as well as two units of blood.

Other than that she is doing okay.
