Rene got through her cramping from Sunday and though sore from it seemed to be recovering. She was scheduled for outpatient chemo treatment during the procedure, began to have massive abdominal cramping. Due the severity of the cramps, she was rushed to emergency room at Scottsdale Healthcare. As of 10PM this evening, here is the following:
- She is no longer having pains due to medications provided
- All blood work and other testing show no changes from Friday when she was discharged
- Her blood count is up which is great (the transfusions are working)
- She is the observation ward of the hospital and a series of additional tests will occur in the morning
- The results of these test will determine if she has to stay or they can release her instead
- If the abdominal cramps are the result of her chemo treatments, we must determine the "secret cocktail" that allows her to eat food and avoid cramping as well as heartburn
- This is important because she has masses in her stomach and pelvic areas
- She was upset that the pain caused her not to enjoy the sight of the paramedics that attended to her!
- She made up for it with the ER doctor, even I have to admit he was a handsome man, she enjoyed his company!

I cannot stand to see a blog entry without a comment posted, so I will add one here.
No poetry this time....Hospitals suck.
Be well.
Hey Rene,
I was supposed to spend my Spring Break hanging out with you at Souvia or the wine bar. I'll run a tab so we can spend lots of time together when you are up and running again. Say the word when you are up for visitors. Any movies or books on tape you have to have? Have you tried "The Riches" yet? It's a new show on FX. The best part comes if you've seen Eddie Izzard on the BBC doing his comedy show in drag and then you catch him on this show. Something new while you're flipping through the dial.
We are always sending you good vibes!!!
Love,
Kim, Steve, Jordan, Zoie
