Riding the Waves

This post is from Megan.  Today has been an OK day.  Last night was a rough one and I am not talking about the tornadoes that hit the area.  Those at the hospital were spared from the storm at least.  Mom had to have blood last night, as part of the normal routine.  The blood started some sort of reaction that caused a rash, and was accompanied by a fever, catheter clog, and all sorts of little things going wrong at the same time.  This morning was significantly better, but then one of the antibiotics started causing some hallucinations.  Nothing big, but still not fun.  Mom is still a little confused about what day it is, but the antibiotic is slowly going out of her system.  Hopefully, tomorrow is a much better day.  White blood cell counts are not going up, but that is expected for this stage in the game with the fevers.  Those numbers should climb in the next week and the fevers should subside.  As I type, fever is going up, as it does when the sun goes down.  So for now, she is just riding the waves, watching for the next tsunami to come.  Let's hope it's a small one! Happy Easter!
