the longest day

This had been a long day already. Marie awoke with liquid on her pillow again. She went for a topotecan treatment that morning. It was difficult to get her out of the car because she was so disoriented. We talked to a nurse about Marie's generally bad health and the possibility of a social worker. We were called to alert us of a possible MRI ,so stand by. Then a call about an infection in Marie's spinal fluid. And now she had been checked into the hospital. I wasn't sure what else could happen, but at least Marie was going to get medical care now. She was placed on the oncology floor because it was an oncologist that admitted her.

After making Marie comfortable and hooking her up to machines to monitor her vital signs I sent my daughter and mother in law home to get some rest. I was going to stay in the hospital room with Marie overnight.
