Kelly is OK, but has had a rough three weeks.

On October the 17th Kelly received her new chemo treatment. The infusion was extremely long and we did not leave MD Anderson till 3:00 a.m. that night. Most of the following day we rested ,but that evening Kelly became very disoriented, confused and weak. Thursday morning October 19th we went to the ER due to these symptoms. They ran test. When the test came back Kelly's sodium was extremely low causing the confusion and fatigue, basically she was suffering from dehydration. The chemo just zapped what strength she had left. The more pressing matter was that her kidneys were not functioning properly, acute kidney failure, in medical terms. The first few days in the hospital where the worst. I call them " wait and see " days. They began to give her fluids and slowly but surely she regained her mental bearings and her kidneys began to function at a more normal level. We left the hospital on October 27th.

Kelly is resting at home ,but is still very fatigued. We will begin physical therapy tomorrow to regain strength in her legs and arms from the dehydration and hospital stay. I can not thank everyone enough for the all the calls, emails and kind things people have done while we where in the hospital. Thanks to everyone who helped around the house and pulled "dog duty".

I am married to a very strong women who continues to fight everyday. Please continue with your support and prayers.
