Hi All,
Jess had a rough day in Medford yesterday; we had to be over there at 830 am for blood tests which came back very low. They wanted to give her blood and a shot to stimulate her bone marrow, but with us going to Portland they decided to hold off and just email her doctor up here and give him a heads up. About an hour later I got a call from them and they wanted to see u early this morning so they could check her. She got chemo yesterday and they gave her pre-meds (Benadryl in her IV and steroids). After IV chemo and the 3 shot chemo they made her stay for about an hour, so they could watch her to make sure she was okay.
We left there about 1230 and headed over to Rogue; which is where she gets her PICC dressing change, before we were to leave to Portland. As we were sitting there she stared to break out in hives and her throat started to get tight. They called the doctor and put meds in her. After they got her stabilized they called the doctor again, but they wouldn't let us leave Medford without going back over to the cancer center. They put her back in the chair and they started her on meds again. They wouldn't let us leave for about an hour, so they could keep an eye on her. By then her temperature was up a point and nothing freaks them out more than a high temp. Finally around 330 they were convinced that they had her stabilized for the trip to Portland.
Wow, what a long day, but I am glad that they watch over her so closely. She had a very uncomfortable trip to Portland, but we made it around 930 pm. We are off to the doctors and tests today. I will let you know how it goes.
Please keep her in your prayers this week.
Love to all, Cindi
Hi Cindi,
ReplyDeleteWow! What a day! I'm confident the doctors are doing the right thing for your daughter. I am so sorry to hear how tired and worn out you are. To say 'I can only imagine' would be a disservice to you and your family. I've gone through cancer episodes with my Mom, Dad, and Father-in-Law, but not a child. You guys hang in there. Try and get the rest you need so you can be there physically and emotionally for Jesse. I'm certain our Father is guiding all of you through this challenging journey. Have faith that Jesse will heal completely! Please remember that through God, all things are possible! Love to you and your wonderful family!
Prayers, hugs, and love,
Kimberley, Richard, and Morgan
