Back in the Hospital

Thanks everyone for keeping my family in prayer. Holly is back in the hospital. They took her off of chemo for a week until her liver enzymes and blood work got better, then she took another shot Friday. You have side effects when you get off chemo and then when you get back on it. It has been really difficult for her that they keep taking her off and on. Sunday she was really sick, had a fever, dehydrated and had extreme head pain. Corey took her to the emergency room early Sunday morning.

They gave her a spinal tab and ran a lot of tests. Holly was admitted into the hospital Sunday afternoon. They were giving her fluids, antibiotics, nausea meds, and all kinds of pain medication. Nothing was giving her any relief. She was in so much pain she was screaming and crying, which only made it worse. I tried acupressure on her hands then worked on her head, of course, praying the whole time. She did start to calm down by the evening.

They have had Holly on all kinds of pain medication that wasn't giving her any relief. Tuesday they tried an opiate nasal spray which has brought the pain down to a 5. We are still not sure of why she is having all the pain. The CAT scan was negative for a brain tumor. Praying there is nothing in her brain that just hasn't shown up. She is scheduled for sinus surgery Friday. They are taking her off the chemo until after her surgery, which means more withdrawal and reaction when she starts up again. The opiate is highly addictive also. Praying she will not get addicted.
