I visited my mother in law in the hospital today and she is not doing well at all. She is going to have to get blood transfusion number 4 today.
Today while I was there they said that her bone marrow is not producing blood. That can be a side effect of the chemotherapy. The doctor did go on to say that her blood count is slowly getting better but that with the serious infection that she has or did have that she probably would not feel better for 4-6 weeks.
They are calling physical therapy in to work with her and get her moving around more. When she is resting her already low blood pressure gets even lower. She is having a hard time breathing and has NO energy...that will be a hurdle with the moving around she needs to do to get her blood pressure up I am sure.
If it is possible I am more worried now than I was before. I am very uneasy about the treatment she is getting and the lack of improvement so far.
Please keep praying for her.
Oh no! I am so sorry. Will be praying hard for her!
ReplyDeleteBless her heart! That sounds bad. I just said a prayer for her, and will continue to do so. I know it must be hard for you to reassure your children when you are so worried yourself.
ReplyDeleteOh Joy, I am so sorry. I hate to hear she is having such a rough time. She will be in my thoughts and prayers. Please keep us posted
