What a day and it is not over yet. Today started with assesement and triage, then she got her G shot and while she received her G shot her labs came back. She needed blood and platelets. No problem + 3 extra hours in Medicine room. She got her platelets and when infusion was complete , she got itchy all over. I forgot to mention that she got premeds, but this time they where not working.
Suddenly she started coughing, and slowly her vomiting turned pink, and then brown. SHe was vomiting blood. In a split second the whole room was filled with nurses and doctors. She got nebuliser treatment( for her congested treatment). ANd since she just got her platelets doctor was not concerned her vomiting blood, because usually when platelets are low bleeding occurs.
Her blood was ready, but since she got bad reaction to platelets, it was taken back to lab and they have to give her new , special blood. So today , instead of spending our night with family, we spend our day and night with our St Jude family. Blood has not arrived yet, so I guess we get out of here around 8o'clock.
Regina is feeling much petter now than before. SHe is not throwing up and her breating has cleared up and her heartrate is back to normal.
My back hurts and I am hungry. :(
UPDATE-Finally, around 6.30pm she got her blood and she is receiving it now. Nick is with Regina now.
