Back to Intensive Care Unit
Posted Jan 4, 2011 10:32pm
Just wanted to let everyone know what is going on. I was with my
mom today and her temperature spiked to 103.7 F or about 39.7 C.
With this high fever my mom's breathing became very rapid and
uncontrolled. The fever is being caused by what the doctor’s think
is some sort of bacterial infection in her blood.
So they have moved her to the ICU as a precaution. They are evaluating her right now and they think that they may have to intubate her to ensure that her breathing is more controlled. We hope this is just temporary.
We have also started to test the brothers for bone marrow matches. We sent my tio Luis a kit to San Diego and he has sent it back to U of M for testing. We pray to GOD that the first test is the compatible one for my mom. Her receiving a transplant is KEY to winning this battle with Leukemia.
In the past few days it seems that my mom's spirit is a little lower than it has been. And because of this I have asked if some of my aunts and uncles would be willing to come in. Not so much for fear of the worse but perhaps to give my mom a little boost of morale.
TIOS AND TIAS WE LOVE YOU VERY MUCH!!!! Los queremos mucho y aqui los esperamos para darle un empujon a su "Reyna". Aqui tienen sus casas. Me avisan de sus planes. 743-516-4584
I also want to comment on the outstanding care my mom has been getting here at U of M. I know that if I am ever in need of serious care the University of Michigan is where I want to be taken. The doctors and nurses and staff in 8B have been tremendous with my mom. Words cannot express how great they have been.
Thank you all for your continued prayers,
Love, TONY
