 8pm, 8th Oct:
Mycroft has spent a night in Meningie Hospital to treat severe chest pains, 39deg fever and an acute migraine. Under doctors orders to rest, Sarah will remain admitted until the high temperature has stabilized. The difficulties began during the run from Tailem Bend to Ashfield last night, Sarah struggled to make the full daily planned distance.
One team member reveals; "When she arrived here at the caravan park Shannon [who had been the support car driver for the evening run] told us Sarah had been in tears from early on in the evening while she ran as the pain was so intence, but she had pushed on until she reached a town. She's like that, she'll pick a spot to work towards and not stop until she gets there, no matter what. But when they got back here to MeningieCaravan Park where the rest of the team was with her children, she couldn't get out the car. She is a no-fuss person and wouldn't have asked to be taken [to hospital], but we could see she was in bad shape and she didn't have the energy to fight our descision."
Mycrofthad felt like she was coming down withsomething since mid-morning. Tests reveal a viral infection, causing severe migraine, swollen glands, coupled with the obvious fatigue and slight de-hydration. Chest x-rays are clear and the e.c.g showed minor but non-threatening heart rhythm patterns. All there is to do is rest and try to let her body's temperature subside. Then the run will continue.
