Urgent- REgina neeeds well wishes!!!

Yesterday( Monday morning), 6 am Regina wanted to go to the restroom. I picked her up and took her there. She felt extremely hot. I took her temp and it was 40,1. ( high). I tryed to call to the hospital but nobody picked up the phone. So I called nick and we took her to St Jude.

For now I know it is line infection and her line has to be pulled( that what I was told today). They are taking her blood every 4 hours to make sure she is ok.

Since we went to the hospital to early yesterday, there were no Doctors who could help us. They finally found Doc on call. ( hour later). Then doctor Yusuf arrived and did the best he could. Reginas blood pressure was suddenly too high and then drop to really , really low. ( within one minute) .I was scared and out of my mind. Then she started having chills . And those chilles looked like she had a seizure, she was shaking uncontrollably. Finally chills stopped and she started feeling hot. It lasted for about 2 hours. Finally medicine started kicking in and she felt somewhat better.

About 4 pm her temp was gone and she felt much better. Now she is on 3 different antibiotics, and extra potassium and magnesium. She is also on antinausea meds.

Her fever has not returned today and let hope that it will never return. Now we are waiting her counts to recover.

oh kui hea on kuulda uudiseid, seda ma juba kahtlustasin, et miskit võib veits viltu olla kui juba mitu mitu päeva polnud mingeid uudiseid. Kohe närviliselt käisin päevas mitusada korda vaatamas, muide mitu tundi meil teiega ajavahe on? viis vist??? No hea vähemalt et palavikku enam pole ja loodame et need antibiotsid tapavad ära seal kõik paha :-(((
ja täitsa hämmastav et ka seal, kus on tegemist elu ja surma küsimusega ja kõik võib olla minutite küsimus, siis nemad lihtsalt ei võta toru vastu. See on ikka tõeline sigadus mu meelest...
ma võin ainult ette kujutada sinu hirmu neil hetkedel ja muidugi oli kõikse vähem aega siis netti kirjutama minna...
aga noh, vähemalt on olukord nüüd stabiilne nagu ma aru saan.
ühesõnaga me hoiame pöidlad pihus, et palavik enam ei tuleks ja kõik verenäitajad läheks taas normi. Ja et sinu närvid saaks taas natuke puhkust...
me oleme mõtetes kogu aeg teiega kallikesed...
terv,

Hopefully Regina's line doesn't really need to be pulled-- you guys are almost done but she still needs her line.

Happy to hear her fever seems to be under control.
