A Second Hospital Stay
In support of

Sarah Manson
Sarah was readmitted to the hospital on Wednesday after a procedure to remove excess fluid from her abdomen. Her white blood cell count and electrolytes were low, but have since both improved. She has something called ‘re-feeding syndrome,’ which basically means that her body is adjusting to all the nutrients being provided by the IV nutrition. She’ll likely be in the hospital for a few more days while the medical team adjusts the nutritional formula and continues to monitor her condition.
Sarah’s energy has come back a bit this week and she’s now asking Grant, our dad, and me to ‘entertain her.’ In addition to long talks, we’ve been able to distract her with magazines, word searches, cards, and messages received from many of you. Thank you for sending joy and hope!
This week we are praying for a reduction in fluid build up, swelling, and lactic acid; continued improved health with an absence of infection; and the opportunity for Sarah to start her second round of chemo on Wednesday.
With hope,
Kate
