So Isabella spiked a fever on Sunday afternoon, which required her to be treated with antibiotics. We still aren't quite sure what caused her fever on Sunday, but since she didn't show any other symptoms, the doctors suspected that it may have something to do with the port in her chest - which was infected a couple weeks ago. But, the bloodwork did not show the same bacteria as the previous infection, so for now, they have ruled out the port. If the bloodwork had shown the same bacteria, they would have had to replace the port in her chest, which would have meant another operation. But for now, we are just going to watch her closely.
Her temperature has been normal since yesterday, so they are looking to finally discharge her back to Rusk rehab on Wednesday. Isabella is still feeling nauseous from the chemo, but she has been doing better with the pill swallowing. Wednesday will be fifth and final day of temodar pills. She has started to eat stuff again, and finally tonight, she has been able to keep her food down.
We're hoping that the worst is behind us for this cycle.

I'm so glad and relieved for all of you that the pill swallowing has been better. I hope that you start to feel better soon, dear Isabella.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad the swallowing technique taught was successful. I can't wait for the MRI result. I will continue to pray. I strongly believe prayers are stronger than anything else......
