I got an email from Jennie last night. She's not expecting to get online much in the next few days. They've got her taking Dilauded about every three hours and she's resting well. They're also pumping in more antibiotics and yesterday she had so much fluid infused that her ankles became swollen. Her WBC has come up to 8.8 but it's the only number that's inline for the moment. She'll be getting more fluids today but what she really wants is that ice cold beer she didn't get a chance to have on the 4th!

She thanks all for wishes, hopes and prayers and sends hugs to all!

    UPDATE
    I got an email from Jennie a little wile ago. They gave her Ambien to help her sleep and she had an allergic reaction. She woke up scared, disoriented and with a swelling on one side of her face. Her doctor said she'd need surgery, but then later in the email I think she said it wouldn't be needed. She's still on for the Cyberknife, though. Sorry that there's not much more info, but that's about the gist of what she said. I'll update more when I hear back from her.

    Thanks Doc, for these updates. She is going through such a terrible time right now. I'm so hoping things will soon get better for her, so she can get strong for the cyberknife.
    You're in my thoughts, Jennie girl.

    Luv,

    Wolfen

    Normally
    Normally, Sonia, I'd say "my pleasure" which it would be if there were more good news. So instead I'll say yo're welcome. Her email last night was pretty chaotic, so now I'm anxiously waiting to get another update.

    Dear Doc
    I add my thanks for the updates. Jennie with her smile and outgoing personality have been a boon to many here.

    Hopefully she will soon be well enough to come down off some of the drugs that she needed.

    Please send her our love and prayers for feeling better soonest.

    Hugs,

    Marie who loves kitties
