The past few days have been very trying for Karen. She becomes anxious from the nausea, however, Ativan seems to help for both symptoms. Only one more day to go with the antibiotics for the suspected infection from last Monday, Karen still continues to run a slight fever (99.8) each day. Talked with Dr. Reddy, the Hematologist/Oncologist, at an appointment yesterday (03/05), he states as long as Karen's fever does not go over 100 she is okay. He reassured her that everything she is experiencing are the common side effects for the intense and aggressive chemo treatment she is receiving, which was very good for Karen to hear. Labs and bone meds scheduled for tomorrow. Just praying that will go well and Karen will not have any other side effects. Thanks to you all for your support, thoughts and prayers. Love you much XOXOXO :o)

Agree with Lindsay. Thank you so much for the updates. I hope today's appointments went well and that Karen is feeling a little better in the coming days. Love you all!!
ReplyDeleteFinally found "Chipper" and coming to grips with the reality of this news. Karen is a strong fighter and will handle the treatment/condition like the strong "trooper" she has always been. Big hugs, kisses, constant prayers, love and warm wishes and thoughts for Karen as she progresses on this journey. Thanks for keeping us up-to-date. Best wishes also to all the caregivers - she is very lucky to have all of you beside her.
