Lorrie's condition has taken a turn again and landed her back into the hospital. Seems her Biliary line has a blockage and it is causing her an infection and fever possibly because of the chemotherapy she is going through. Last night they were successful in replacing it and she was resting somewhat comfortably when I left. Finding out her white blood count was on a scale of 1 to 8 a score of 1, I spoke with Lorries primary Oncologist regarding her condition and he had told me that he generally administers a dosage of medicine daily to prevent the white blood count from dropping like a rock. His explanation to why he hadn't ordered it was because of Lorrie's decision to receive her treatment at the hospital rather than in his office prevented him from staying in closer contact with her. Not sure why he hadn't foreseen the possibility of it occurring and ordered it from the hospital again makes me reiterate to everyone going through any medical condition, Take Charge of your Health and continue to ask questions about the care your Physician has in play. Subsequently he has ordered the medicine and we hope her levels will increase soon. Now because her count is so dangerously low, the staff has ask everyone that is considering seeing her, not to visit her at this time. The staff and doctors at Scottsdale Health Care are taking great care of her as they always have. If they are able to get her stabilized they said I might be able to get her home Sunday. We appreciate everyones support and prayers so very much.
