Back on 5300

Anna went over for treatment today, and she wasn't feeling too well. She had been feeling pretty crummy for most of the weekend. The doctor decided that he wasn't going to give her chemo today, and instead wanted to just give her some fluids/meds to see if he could get her feeling a little better. She was there for a little bit, and it wasn't really doing the trick, so he decided to admit her and have her stay in the hospital. At this point, they think she has an infection of some sort. This is pretty common when going through this type of chemo, as it really screws up your immune system and makes you very susceptible to infection.
 
My mom was with her during the day, so she was able to initial help Anna get settled in. When I got home, I took her over some food and some comfortable clothes. I'm guessing she'll be there a few days at this point until she bounces back. Not really sure what that's going to mean in terms of treatment, etc.
 
Her overnight nurse, Ginny (sp?), was someone that knows Anna well from the last time around and someone that she had kept in touch with, so I think that will make the first night a little easier.
 
It felt weird to walk the halls of 5300 again (that's the Oncology unit where Anna spent a lot of time when this first started). We had been back a couple times this past year for social visits or other minor things, but tonight was a little different. It has this very distinct aroma and some of the most ungodly noises you can imagine. 
 
I'll update again tomorrow, and every day till she's back home. Thanks everyone for checking in!
