Catherine is in hospital with an infection. Her temperature went from 36.7 - 38.2 in an hour, and by the time we got to hospital half-an-hour later, her temperature was 39.7. I thought it was a huge jump in such a short space of time.
Doctors are currently unsure what is causing the infection, although they think it may be a chest infection as she has had a bad cough for a couple of days. We are awaiting the results of her chest X-Ray. They are looking to rule out pneumonia.
She is currently being treated with two wide-ranging antibiotics through her portacath. Her bloods show that she definitely has an infection and they are sending her blood for further tests to try and find out the specific cause of the infection.
She is feeling quite miserable and is not happy about having to stay in hospital, but she is being very stoic as usual.
Once we have established the cause of the infection, I will let you know.
