Yesterday was Rhonda's appointment. As soon as we got there they took a look at her and got her right in. The nurse is an amazing lady and has a heart for Rhonda and was on her big time. They took her blood pressure and it was alarmingly low. They looked at each other without a word and immediately got an IV in her and oxygen going. She was severely dehydrated, you could see it in her eyes and on her face. Her oxygen level was okay, they just wanted to give her a boost. The IV fluid was practically running in her, her body needed it so bad. They kept taking her blood pressure every 10 or so minutes. Within an hour the color on her face was better and her blood pressure was a bit better.
So... They amazing got a hospital bed fast, which was another miracle. She got right in the ward that they wanted her in. It is a step down from ICU where they can monitor her heart continuously. Today the plan is to move her back to the oncology ward where she was.
I think they saw the urgency yesterday. We saw 3 different doctors checking on her. Today they are calling pathology and putting a rush on the final 2 tests they were still waiting for. Hopefully they can make a diagnosis in the next day or two and start treatment.
Today Rhonda is where she needs to be with Ron at her side. That is a good thing!!
Pray for healing, her low blood pressure, her legs and feet swelling and one of the biggest, for her to eat and drink more.
