Update from hospital

Thanks for the comments and support. Mari did not have a good night in hospital, her temperature was very high and on a few occasions went into rigor ( strong uncontrollable shivering). This morning her temperature went up to 39.9 so the hospital have given her intravenous paracetamol to lower the temperature. They are unsure what is causing the infection so are also giving her intravenous anti-biotics too. This is a 5 day course so Mari will have to stay in unless there is a marked improvement, they can then give the last couple of days in tablet form so she can come home. Her blood pressure is quite low too.

One of the effects of chemo is damge to veins so the intravenous drips are quite painful. Her white cell count is low so her chemo on Tues will be postponed. Because she is in the Highly Infectious ward, she does have her on room with TV for which she is grateful. Rhi is sleeping in at the hospital with her.

We will keep you updated and thanks again for all the support.

God bless
With love
The Days

Sorry this is such a tough time for Mari, and all of you, but will keep on praying and have asked some of my intercessor friends to pray for you especially at this time as well.
Shalom and love to each and every one of you,
