A Scan and A Hospital Stay

I want to give everyone a quick update. Teresa finished her 4th round of chemotherapy on Monday August 13, 2012. Our first follow up CT Scan was scheduled for Friday, August 24.

This past week the severe side effects from the chemo became chronic. Home health care came to the house on Tuesday (the 20th) to administer IV fluids. On Wednesday (the 21st), the side effects continued so Teresa was admitted to Baptist Hospital that morning.

She continues to receive fluids and the staff is working to get her system back in working order. Since we were already in the hospital, Teresa had her CT scan today (Thursday the 23rd). We anticipate having the results of that test tomorrow.

Teresa is resting well and her spirits and her courage continue to be high, which is extremely normal for her. She is my hero.

I will try to post updates here as we get them.
