Hospital again

Colleen came home from the hospital last night. The doctors had decided that her stroke was likely caused by a different chemo drug than they had originally thought. She had been doing very well in the hospital, and didn't have to have that medicine for another few weeks. Her doctors were discussing how they would manage her body's reaction the next time she was given that particular chemo. She was doing very well and was happy to be home. 

This morning, however, she started behaving oddly. Eventually we decided that she would have to go into the hospital. Shortly after arriving in the clinic, Colleen's uncontrollable movements intensified and the doctors thought she was having a seizure. The staff here quickly got her some sedative in order to calm her down and stop the seizure. She will be admitted shortly for observation. The neurology team has since decided that this is likely not a seizure, but just an episode of odd behavior. Obviously they are trying to determine the cause.

Thank God

-that we arrived in the clinic before her symptoms were out of control.

-that the doctors got to her quickly and she did not injure herself.

Pray

-that the doctors can figure out the cause of her symptoms.

-that if needed, another chemotherapy plan can be found that will be effective in treating her leukemia.

-that she doesn't have anymore unusual side effects.
