Long Day

Well it has been a long day. We got a phone call last night at 11:30 that Cindy was rapidly regressing mentally. Her blood pressure was really low and she wasn't responding. The moved her the ICU at SLU Hospital. We rushed out there to see what was going on. They put her on blood pressure meds to stabilize her pressure. They did a head CT to see if there was any bleeding from the port procedure. There wasn't.

As the day went on, the doctors and Jack decided that it would be a good idea to go ahead and try to start the chemo to see if it would do any good. After awhile they did the chemo treatment and Cindy had a couple of seizures. They put her back on anti-seizure medication. Then the seizures stopped. In the afternoon she had some high blood sugars and erratic breathing. Also treated with different medications. We haven't seen much improvement from the chemo yet. They are not going to do a treatment tomorrow, but will probably do one on Tuesday.

Again, there were lots of visitors and people who wanted to see Cindy. John and Angie extended there stay for a couple more days and best of all Tommy got into town from New York this evening. Michael is on his way as I type from LA. The whole family will be back together tomorrow to support each other. Cindy's niece Carrie is supposed to be coming in also. Lots of family and friends to help in this tough time. I will have more news tomorrow. Thanks for reading and keep the prayers coming.
