Another Wednesday in the hospital! Mom is doing well, it just takes time to heal. The doctor was in this morning and said maybe a Friday or weekend release date. They are just waiting on her blood levels to get normal and for her wound to quit draining so much.
All in all she received 6 units of blood these past couple of weeks, so getting the levels back to normal has taken a bit of time. It has also taken time to replenish her system after she came in so dehydrated and malnourished from being sick. She has been keeping down solid foods so that is a huge blessing!
Thanks so much to the people who have been visiting her in the hospital - it has really brightened her long days! This week I have made a couple of trips up there, but with three little ones in tow it is always a quick trip! Funny story, mom had a potty chair in her room since she was hooked up to so many cords. Ryan saw it and asked me later if it sang to her after she went, like his Elmo potty does. I said probably not and he said, that is too bad it would make her happy!
I will keep you posted as things move along. I am guessing she will begin radiation next week after she is out and she has an appointment with her oncologist on Thursday of next week to discuss the sutent and when to start back up on that.
Love,
Jo
