"One In A Million"

That's what Cheryl is to me and she's proving to be that statistically as well!

Yesterday was more of the same for the weekend, nausea, sick stomach and not being able to keep food or drink down.

So, it was decided (AFTER The Pats won of course!) to take a trip to the E.R.

She was admitted to Methodist here this morning suffering from pretty severe dehydration, general aches and pains and a worsening case of Oral Mucositis.

That was the biggest complaint she had and it turns out the mucositis was the leading cause of of the nausea, etc.

She received a couple of liters of IV fluids in the E.R. and around 0430 this morning was admitted to the Oncology Ward for follow up and more IVs. That staff has been great and super helpful so far.

This morning her Cancer Care doctor told her that a reaction of this order was "one in a million" in patients receiving chemo treatment.

He feels the 5-FU drug is the culprit and is concerned that the Bactrim she is still taking for MRSA may be compounding the problem.

She has made a good bit of improvement today. Able to talk a bit more, and also kept down a smooth shake. She's up and around getting her strength back as well, hoping to be "frisky" as the doc put it to possibly be discharged before late week.

Merry Christmas to all from our exotic holiday getaway!
