This infection is tenacious and so they decided to start her on IV treatments today. They put in a port - or a central line or something like that - so that she can do it herself at home. A home health nurse will come tomorrow to show Kathy and Paul how to do the treatments and Kathy will take the meds through the port twice a day for three weeks. Not sure what the impact on the upcoming radiation will be, but my guess is that things are getting postponed until this infection clears up.
Rest is still the important factor in all of this. I hope Kathy takes it easy for the next week or so to let the antibiotics do their magic.
I've received some very nice emails from people who are reading the blog to stay updated, and I do appreciate the kind words myself. It's my pleasure to try and help keep Kathy connected to her support network and to help all of us who have Kathy in our minds and hearts keep updated.
