Feeling Crappy!
Pam has not been feeling very well for the last few days. Temp of 102-103, chills, really tired. After the cells went in everything was going great. Then on Monday night the fever came on and they started running tests: chest x-rays, blood cultures, urine samples: so far nothing coming up to pinpoint what is causing the fever. It does seem to be heading on a downward trend at least. Closer to 100 than 103 now. They did a sinus swab a few times (not fun) and then the ENT guy came in and slid a camera up in the sinuses to look around (less fun). They only saw nice pink tissue, so that was good.
From Tues to today the temp stayed around 102.5-103, yesterday Pam did not turn on a light or open a curtain, she slept the entire day. She has also broken out in a rash the they are going to biopsy to see if it is a reaction to donor cells or from one of the many meds.
The fever at this stage is concerning to the docs so they are running every test and taking every precaution they need to to see if they can find out what it is.
Pam did get a chance to have some family visitors over the weekend before this all hit. Her brother, parents, and sisters came to visit. Then on Mothers day I came down with the boys and we all had pizza together. Pam was very excited to get her Mothers Day gift: a hardcover book that contains pictures of the boys from over the years (yeah Apple!).
Hopefully they can get a grip on this fever and get Pam back to feeling better. As "nurse Kate" put it, "we aren't used to seeing Pam like this, this isn't our regular Pam!"
Hoping for a better day tomorrow.
