I am taking her to the rehab facility today. They can give her 24/7 care. She's been having a hard time breathing tonite, and that's not good. In fact, it's 5:00 am, and I'm waiting to see if she's getting any better in the next 30 minutes or so. If not, I'm calling an ambulance to take her to the hospital. I will be checking her into the rehab facility today. I was going to Saturday, but they needed to contact her oncologist and she was not on call this weekend, so they will contact first thing this morning. She is supposed to go in for a blood draw today, then I will be dropping her off at the rehab for a few days. She gets so short of breath with the smallest of tasks.

Her best friend came over yesterday to stay with her for a while so I could get to town and get some supplies. Her friend's mom stayed at the rehab a few times, and she convinced her it was the best thing to do. I was feeling guilty about dropping her off there because she really didn't want to go, but we both realize it is the best thing for her right now. I could sure use the break, as long as I know she has the best of care. It's only 10 miles from the house.

I'll post again this evening and let you guys know how it went.
