Mama's First Infection
Yesterday, Mama Pham spiked a fever while she was having her wound care. The home care nurse, then contacted the doctors and we were instructed to take her to "urgent care". Knowing that we had our follow up Oncology appointment in a half hour, we thought it would just be smarter to go directly to see her doctor. When we arrived, we learned that her appointment had been canceled due to the fever and that we needed to report to urgent care. Urgent care had a 3 hour wait, we were finally seen and then they ordered scans, took X-rays and many blood test to try and find the source of infection. They then decided to admit her for the night and start her on powerful antibiotics since they were still not able to lower the fever. We don't know anything yet but I will keep you posted. Right now, please pray that we can find the source of infection, treat it with the proper antibiotics so we can start Chemo asap.
