Notes From Supergirl

My Diary from the Trenches

Day 16

June16

This is Brian writing for Jess.  She asked me to log in tonight and give you all an update.  While the cancer cells have all been killed off, she is currently fighting an ongoing fever.  Her temperature keeps fluctuating between 100 and 103 degree.  Last I talked to her it was 103.4.  While this seriously concerned both of us, the doctors and nurses reassured us this is not uncommon and they do not consider it a major problem.  They have been giving her Tylenol regularly to control it and have told her that she just needs to rest.  Also, just to be sure they sent her for a CT scan to make sure she did not have pneumonia.   Results were that she does not, which is good of course.

The reason she has asked me to write was that she wanted to rest and stay under her blankets to help control her chills.  Hopefully tomorrow will be better and she will be back on here to write her update herself.   Thanks for all of your prayers, thoughts and well wishes.  Jess already kicked this things ass, she just needs to catch her breath for a few minutes.  Good night.

    An Asian nurse came in to check on Jess. After examining her chart, she said to Jess, “Why you tempeetur keep going up and down?”.

    Jess wearily answered “Just fluctuations.”

    The nurse glared back and said “Just fluc you Americans too.”

    Hope you are feeling better today.

    Jessica you ROCK! So happy to hear the good news. I think you look hot with the shave job. You do have a very nicely shaped head. Love the wig it’s similar to your style. Love your smile. Say Hi to the boys.

    Glad you are taking care of yourself by resting, Jess. This too shall pass.
