Yesterday, Kasey got platelets and a blood transfusion. She also started having some pain in her lower abdomen. She had a small fever also. They watched her real close overnight. The fever went away, but the pain got a little worse.
Today started with a walk around her wing after breakfast. Her counts were still low, so she got another blood transfusion. (I always thought a blood transfusion was replacing all your blood, but it's just a pint of blood given through the IV.) Her fever came back early this afternoon, and the abdominal pain got worse. They put her on a high dose of antibiotics, and ordered a CT scan of the abdomen. They want to rule out apendicitis, blockage, or anything else it could be. Fevers are real common after blood transfusions. And the abdominal pain may be from an area of inflammation in her bowels. The chemo destroyed the protective coating from the mouth all the way through the digestive tract. She has a mouth sore, and it could be a similar sore somewhere down the line.
She had the CT scan around 7:00 pm, but we won't know results until sometime tomorrow. Kasey is really struggling right now. She is in a lot of pain, but refuses pain meds because they make her so sick. It's just like a vicious loop.
So for all of you praying for her out there, send all you've got. Also, leave a comment and I will read them to her. That will help cheer her up.
Thanks.
Kevin

Hang in there. God will see you through this. I will continue to pray for your healing. Remember this verse "I can do everthing through Him who gives me strength." Philippians 4:13
