Carol needed to be admitted to Sarasota Memorial Hospital early Thursday morning after she developed a high fever during the night. The doctor on call at Moffitt suggested I take her to the local emergency room instead of driving all the way to Tampa in her condition.
Since she continues having sporadic high fevers and her blood counts remain lower than the minimum required to be released we are still at Sarasota Memorial for at least another couple of days until her condition improves.
The bone morrow biopsy and follow up appointments with Dr. Tomblyn scheduled for tomorrow at Moffitt will need to be rescheduled for a later time to give Carol an opportunity to recover from this bump on the road.
On the lighter side, Carol’s cousin Freddie was visiting during this time. They managed to do a few fun things just for a couple of days before Carol was admitted. Carol felt pretty bad that for the last few days of her visit they weren’t able to go to the places they planned and enjoy walks on the beach but with the hospital stay limitation they had a chance to spend some time together.
Cousins Richard and Cathy Diamond had planned a bird watching trip to Myakka Park and they took advantage to visit Carol on Friday along with Freddie. Their visit lifted all our spirits.
Today Cathy Lankenau came over to visit Carol for a little while, followed by Sybil and Jay later in the afternoon.
So for now Carol is at the Sarasota Memorial Hospital and looking forward to going home soon.
Thank you again to everyone for all your support.
I Will try to update you soon.
