Fear

Received an update from Jack this afternoon. He says Vic is even sicker today than yesterday. She cannot hold down even water today, so they are giving her all medications intravenously. She still has a slight fever, so now they are talking about doing a CAT scan. She also still has severe diarrhea, has not yet gotten results from yesterday's blood culture or x-rays. The mouth sores are increasing, going down her throat now and covering one side of her tongue. These are causing most of her pain, aside from the diarrhea.

One part of the treatment plan indicated that at this stage they might not be able to make her entirely comfortable. I wasn't able to speak to her, but Vicki left me a voicemail message and she said she's starting to feel afraid.
