bump in the road

The night got tougher after my last update. Some of the tests were showing that her liver functions were not behaving properly. In addition, her fever jumped up to about 104.9(F) and her heart rate hit about 159. After consultation with the primary Oncology Doctor, the on duty Physicians, etc they decided to move her to the ICU primarily for precautionary monitoring. She was moved around 2am and I was kicked out around 4am. By the time I left, her temperature was down a bit and her heart rate was a little lower.

Visiting hours don't start again until 11am, so I just got back to the hospital a little while ago. Fever and heart rate are still high, though better than the peak. They are able to treat the heart rate with some medicine to allow it to settle down a bit, but after a while it does peak back up. She's supposed to see a cardiologist in the next couple of hours just to get his/her opinion.

It looks like we're going to be here for a couple of days, so:
1. All visits for tonight/tomorrow are canceled (they only allow immediate family)
2. Her phone number has changed, so please hold off on calling (they do not allow inbound calls here)
3. chemo scheduled for today/tomorrow is canceled, until we get to a better spot with the liver, heart and temp

Physically she feels ok - just a little more tired than normal. She remains in good spirits and I've been able to some normal conversations with her.

I'll update again later today as more info is available.
