An update...

Greetings all, Todd here...

Just wanted to give everyone a quick update, as it has been an eventful few days for Tina. She has now been in the hospital since Monday (and is actually now in ICU since this morning). Doctor's really have no idea what is all going on with her...

Ever since she got here on Monday, it has been a continual race to try to get her better, but once they finally seem to get one of her symptoms in line, it seems something else starts acting up. While she was originally admitted to the hospital for dehydration (she couldn't swallow), she then started to have both abdominal and back pain, which have finally been taken care of. She also has problems swallowing due to her tongue having sores all over (while common for chemo patients, they think it might be some type of infection). Finally, last night we got a scare, as around 5 AM her heart rate spiked and she had a 103 temperature, which has landed her in ICU. Her temperature and heart rate are down, but the doctors are still trying to find some answers. The poor girl just cant get a break...

Anyway, just a quick update...will keep everyone posted on how she is doing. As of now, no idea on when she will be getting out, but it isn't looking like anytime soon. Of course prayers and positive thoughts are always appreciated!

I am glad her fever broke and her fever went down! ICU can be a scary place, but I always took comfort in the fact that they can keep a close eye on everything better there... Please give T big hugs from Mike and me.. and of course we are here if we can do anything for you guys!!
