Hello Everyone ... Kelly again.

Donna had a pretty rough evening and spend most of the night in the bathtub trying to minimize the pain, she said that was when it was at it's most tolerable ... but it took it's toll.

She was unable to keep her breakfast down this morning but her and Brenda did make it to Chemo at 9:15am. Before they would even start the Chemo she was given 2 large bags of Sodium Chloride, she was very badly dehidrated from all the hot baths.

They then administered a bag of pain killer, a lesser dosage than morphine has, she felt a little nauseous for about 15 minutes but did not have the chest and stomach pains that she did with the Tylenol 3 and morphine.

This was followed by a bag of Chemo, 2 more bags of Sodium Chloride and then another Chemo.

Donna was then admitted into the hospital where she was given another bag of Sodium Chloride mixed with a pain killer, as for the next 21 days she will have a large syringe type bottle taped to her chest feeding into the port in her biscept, it is a very slow drip of Chemo that will be changed every 7 days.

Donna will be in the hospital for the next 3 or 4 day to find the pain medicine that will best works for her, get hydrated and to have the rest that she so desperatly needs.

At this time she has requested NO VISITORS with the exception of family, when she is feeling better and would like to have visitors we will let you all know.
