Debbie spiked a fever last night, letting the medical staff know that she does have an infection in her body. They believe it's in her intestines. Last night they were able to drain off about a liter of fluid and some air from her intestines. This has made her much more comfortable. She was able to have a fairly restful and pain free evening.

Because of the infection, they will not be able to start chemo treatments today. Please pray that the infection would clear. She cannot continue to take her nourishment from an IV indefinitely, and the only hope for her to be able to eat normally at this point is for the chemo treatments to shrink the blockage that is causing her issues.
