SHE'S HOME

Thanks be to God who restores us to Himself.  He is with us in the storms and struggles and pain.  Mom is home again after six days in the hospital. CT Scan showed considerable shrinkage of the masses. Her left lung is starting to open up again. The incredible sore throat is gone that was keeping her from swallowing, and preventing her from injesting any liquids. Her blood work is improving and still needs to improve more. Tuesday is her next lab appointment to check bloodwork. She's still on antibiotics. There is talk about cutting her next dose of chemo (if she continues it) will be cut in half.

HOPE NOW IN GOD

Mom's been in the hospital for the last 4-5 days. All the days and nights are kind of blurring together. She had such an extreme sore throat that she could not even swallow water. I'll spare you the painful details. Her blood platelet levels went from 36 to 13 to 10. The dr ordered a blood transfusion and a seperate platelet transfusion. She's been having fevers off and on. Antibiotics back to back. Her white blood count was down to 1 point something. She now has a PICC in her main artery from her arm directly to her heart where they are now putting in and taking out fluids and blood. I really appreciate all of your prayers and the love that you have shown.
