back in hospital

Here we are at the hospital. Alex started getting a fever around 3pm and tired etc, so i started watching her temp, At 4.30pm it was over 38 so called banksia day (cancer out patience) and finally was told to go to DEM, we worked out it is better with the drive to go up to Brisbane to RCH, no real waiting time but Ipswich we would see a wait off 6 + hrs to be seen,
We arrived at 6pm and they got us settled in the cubical did Ob's and urine sample again, Alex's temp was higher now so am glad we did come in, they put emla cream (numbing cream) on her port for bloods, then sponge bob on dvd to watch, we had the Dr come in too. They ended up saying yes we would be admitted to give IV antibiotics, Alex drank some cordial and then threw up everywhere, so glad she is not on Chemo now, i had also grabbed the hospital bag so changed her cloths. Antibiotics got started then, Alex has something to eat, corn flakes and they stayed down. She was light sensitive too.
We got to the room at 11pm, not a cancer ward as they want to be sure Alex is not contagious to others, once settled in her bed Alex was hungry again so chocolate milk and cookies she ate half a cookie then crashed, the staff also gave me some sandwiches, I finally got to sleep after midnight. We have CT scan today, Alex is hungry but not sure if she is fasting so NBM (nil by mouth) so we are waiting on the contrast for her to start drinking. Just done admission papers again, hehe they like to know everything
