I (Heather) came home last night late. It is hard to spread ourselves in two places...but many of you have dealt with that before, so you understand! For the first time in a year I can say I am glad we are not in Africa right now!
So, Mom was doing much better yesterday. When I got there she was being a little grumpy about the blood pressure cuff feeling tight and wanting to get a shower! I was glad to see she was still fiesty! They moved her to a different room since she does not have to be in the special care unit anymore. Unfortunately that means she has a roomate, but she did not seem to mind as much as we did! (We should feel sorry for her roomate with all of us coming everyday!) She was able to get off the cath, morphine drip, and bp cuff. She is taking percocet in the pill form and starting liquids, and seems to be ok with that. The doctors said that maybe by tomorrow she could try solids, but she is in no hurry for that...it is a little intimidating for her to think about that right now!
She can walk by herself today and even get a shower! That will make her day!
Still no news on the biopsy. I was irritated, but my Dad is being so patient about everything! They said definitely by the beginning of this week. It will depend on whether it is gallbladder or ovarian cancer the type of treatment they begin and the aggressiveness of it.
Thank you all for cards, food, gifts of gas money, calls, and PRAYERS!! You are all such a blessing to us and it is overwhelming to feel love from so many of you!
