Sue my RN at Madison County called my Dr & after she gave me the Platelets she sent me to The Ohio State University Emergency Room per my Dr.s Orders. We got to OSU about 12pm. After multiple lab draws, a blood culture, urine sample, chest X-Ray, CAT Scan, EKG they decided to admit me. I knew this was going to happen because my Dr told me that was what she wanted, she was upset I did not call her last night when I first got the fever. Shortly after 9pm they finally got me into a room at the James, not on the 10th floor but they got me a private room on the 8th floor that has heat, Room 865 the room phone number is 614-293-5687, after the 9 hour ER experience this is why I did not come in last night. I sent Marc home after they got me settled into the room. They sent me back down to X-Ray again around 10:30 for a panoramic of my mouth. So far they are telling me that I have a neutrapenic fever, they do not know any specifics, there is talk that they are going to do a spinal tap tomorrow.For now they have me on 2 different extremely high dose antibiotics.
My temp has been holding between 102 & 103 between doses of acetometephin. That is the only thing that is working so far & it only works for about an hour if 2 & then it is right back up again.
My Dad was on his way down to the ER to see me from Lima & he put his car in the ditch on SR 117. He is in the process of having it towed to Bellefountine, he did not have a spare. Odds are he will not be able to get a new tire tonight but should be able to in the morning. The important thing is he wasn't hurt. I though the roads were clear but I guess there were a few nasty patches & he happened to hit one just right. He is going to come down & stay at the house with Marc & the kids for a few days while they figure out what is wrong with me.
Brandon had the Harry Steele Classic Wrestling tournament today in London, it was cancelled due to Weather last weekend.Brandon won one match & got a buy on another (forfeit) & he ended up losing the rest. Marc said every time he talked to him on the phone today he kept asking how I was doing. All the kids are real worried. Marc said Paige was crying at one point because someone told her at school if I get a fever I will die. So I told Marc to reassure them am I am fine. They have never seen me this sick. Katie looked scared when I left for the hospital but she did not say anything. I am glad we did Katie's Birthdays cake (Chocolate Snickers)& ice cream (Snickers) on Sunday. We also took them all out to the Asian Buffet which is Katie's favorite. Tomorrow the kids have a teacher COTA day or something like that so there is no school. Zack was upset because he could not spend the night with Misty due to plumbing issues & with me going back in the hospital on top of that today, is going to cause him some stress this week for sure.
The Benefit that the London Rainbow Girls Assembly are holding for me is this week, I hope that I am better by then so I can go.

Hi Sandi,
I'm very happy to see you updating the blog. I was very concerned when you didn't think you would have the energy to. Also, I'm glad to hear your Dad is ok. Cars can be fixed and that will be nice to have him around for a few days, Zack will have somone to attack...lol My heart goes out to the kids I'm sure it is very hard on them to watch you go through this. Like Millie said though focus on the healthy body you'll have after you recover from the chemo. I'm with your Dr too, quit waiting, when they say call if you get a fever you need to call them, they're telling you those things for a reason, so quit trying to be so tough. I mean I want you to be tough but you have to know when to let them step in too. Hopefully they'll give you the results of all those tests today or soon. Prayers are going out to you all, stay strong , I love you sandi.
Aunt Lynn
