Emergency Visit

The day started in a normal fashion but soon it was clear that Marsha was having difficulty breathing. We called her oncologist and we were told to bring her into the office in Conway. We proceeded to get her ready and off to the office where they said that her oxygen levels were very low and that she had fluid on her lung again. They suggested we call for an ambulance and so we did. She was taken a mile down the road to Conway Hospital and we met her at the emergency room. It was a frustrating experience as it was nothing but delays and after finally seeing a doctor he told us that she did not have fluid on her lung and after hours gave her more medication instead. It was hours for Dottie and I and Dave & Pat joined us and I think it was hours for them as well. The medication did make Marsha sleepy and she was comfortable on the ride home and went to bed and seemed to have a good night. The confusion between what the oncologist said and the doctor in the emergency room gave me some anxiety. I had really had a lot of confidence in the oncologist's office and this made me wonder if they should be trusted as much as I had been trusting them. It is not good to be second guessing your doctor.
