Ups and Downs

Sunday was a good day for Susan, despite the chemo side effects. She made it to church and we were able to go out to lunch with 12 of our closest relatives. (Thanks, Dan, for treating!) By Sunday night, however, Susan was complaining of shortness of breath, and slept sitting up on the sofa to alleviate that. Monday morning her temperature skyrocketed to 101, but after 2 tylenol came down below normal. The same exact thing happened this morning. Tonight, she says that just sitting still and breathing is an effort for her. We suspect that she is getting dehydrated again. The nurse is coming tomorrow morning so we will check this out.
