Celeste had been doing well since starting the new chemotherapy last week. She had an especially good day yesterday - her family ward Bishop and former Young Women leader visited her, and she spent some time playing her new keyboard that one of her wonderful nurses brought her.
She woke up at 3 am today in tears from pain in her abdomen and excessive coughing. Pain medication helped her sleep again until about 8 am, but she spiked a fever and started coughing uncontrollably. After routine vitals were taken, her doctors decided to move her back to the ICU because her oxygen levels were too low.
As soon as Celeste was moved they did an ultrasound on her abdomen, liver and heart - no cause for concern from that. One of her transplant team doctors came to follow up - they have stopped her chemotherapy until after her breathing and oxygen levels are stable, and they have determined what caused the rapid decline. The ICU team is working hard to make sure she does not need to be on a ventilator or feeding tube again. They just finished doing another bronchoscopy, she is resting now.
Thank you for your love and prayers, Celeste says she can feel them.
