I'm still kicking.

Barely.

After I texted @dovey, I don't remember much.

In addition to the possible nephrosis (kidney disease) they now consider my BP to be officially diagnosed as hypotension (low BP) because it kept crashing last night. They gave me medication to raise it twice, but the nurse said I was hovering in the 50/35 range and she said I gave them quite a scare last night.

I was freaking out when they did my first BP and temperature read. My fever spiked at 106.8 and they covered me in ice packs.

All I kept thinking was, "This is it. This cancer isn't going to kill me but it will end up being something stupid like a fever or infection."

Im still in the Critical Care Unit because my fever keeps hovering right around 102.

I'll be here at least one more night but after being on my back since Sunday afternoon, I've developed a very heavy wet cough and now they want to be sure I don't get pneumonia.

Im completely spent. I can barely hold my head up for DH to feed me.

On a good note, they gave me something called Marinol which is a synthetic version of marijuana (they said I couldn't go out to my car and smoke, and frankly, with this cough, I don't feel like smoking) and it worked. I had a small bowl of watermelon which wss the first thing I've eaten since Saturday.

I'll hooked up to so many machines. My BP & temp is being taken every 15 minutes.

Im still waiting to see the urologist so they can figure out what's going on.

All of this has to be taken care of before I can go back to MD Anderson.

My priest just came by and gave me Communion and he also anointed me which gives me great peace and comfort.

Thanks for your continued prayers and good thoughts. You ladies keep on rolling because you ROCK!

Love,
V.
