Sorry for the delay in posting. It has been a rough 4 days.
Anno has been fighting these riggers (shakes) and high fevers and sweats since Tuesday the 4th when she got the blood transfusion. Then Friday her heart had an irregular beat and they decided to put her in ICU. Good thing they did because in the wee hours of Saturday her heart rate went to 175 and blood pressure 50/60 - they had to get her heart beating correctly again.
Since then they have kept her in a stable condition with heart medication and they have been able to reduce the riggers and fevers with medication. They are trying to find an infection or bacteria that they think is causing these fever spikes, those are what they feel is causing the strain on her heart. She has spiked as high as 105'. They are moving her to IMU (intermediate care unit) as they now give her the heart medications orally. She will hopefully be back to the 12th floor Wednesday. Everything is on hold, her ENT surgery and further Chemo until they figure out these shakes.
She is shopping for a wig nowl. Her Oncologist is in Mexico until Thursday but we have spoken to him and are pleased with all the doctors and care she is getting in the hospital. We hope to speak directly with a doctor who specializes in T-cell Lymphoma this week.
Anno has sent the family home at times due to her feeling "smothered" so we are trying to give her space and rest. Thank you all for your continued prayers and we will try to keep you posted more often.
