Not Going Well / Off To The Hospital

As if the previous updates from this week were not making it very clear, it has not been a very good week.  And now it is just getting worse.

For the last 24 hours Rebekah has had no energy whatsoever and cannot stop coughing, drooling, snotting, etc. all at the same time.  Her face is so sore that she cannot stand to have another tissue wipe across it and she is soaking through bibs as fast as we can put them on her.  

The swelling and drooling really has us concerned.  Mommy kind of alluded to it in her post a couple of days ago but wasn’t very clear.  We think it might be the mucousitis caused by the recent chemo but are scared because she looks (and with the drooling acts) just like she did when the tumor had taken over back in April.  Obviously that’s a worst case scenario but we are fearful of it.  

Rebekah continued to spiral down this morning and ultimately ended up with a fever again.  The clinic asked that we bring her in right away and “Be prepared to stay” although they don’t know for sure whether we will have to.  Mommy and the girls are on their way right now.
