Wow, what do they about overconfidence or pride going before a fall or counting unhatched chickens!!!!!!

We just got hit with all of them at once. Elaine has been fantastic from walking better to being her usual chirpy self although still with pain attendant. Then early this morning I was awakened by Elaine calling out in distress and rushed up to her bedroom. Her temperature was way up so after a few phone calls to Silver Chain and Hollywood Hospital I drove her in to Hollywood. They then cheerfully admitted her at 2am no drama except that she was quite distressed but the nursing staff got it all under control and didn't complain once.

Yesterday Dr Troons rooms advised that Elaine's nutrafills (I don't know the correct spelling) which are the infection fighters were very low and that is what happened, she got an infection. so today Elaine has had a blood transfusion, blood tests, X-ray and an antibiotic drip. Hopefully she will feel better tomorrow. Her doctor says 2-3 days in hospital is typical for this problem.

Then we will start the next part of the chemo!

  1. Chemo kills the good cells along with the bad. That's the problem as infections come easily. Give her a kiss from us. Xxxxx
