If it's bloodsuckers and breathing treatments, it must be Thursday Night!
10 PM
Mom is resting comfortably. She gets a few hours naptime between the breathing treatments and the folks tapping a vein just in case she had produced any more for them to sample. Actually, last night they all coordinated themselves so that they only interrupted the night once (about 5 a.m.).
She had the biopsy on her right lung this morning. They snuck in between the lower ribs with a needle and got what they needed. They did a great job. She isn't noticing any real discomfort from the procedure.
They came back this afternoon and wheeled her off for a chest scan. (She's pretty proud that guys are still looking at her chest after all this time.)
She's had the opportunity to talk, by face or by phone,with all of the kids and grandkids, and a number of other family and friends.
She is alert and mostly comfortable. ("I am not, get me out of this damn bed!") She is, too. But she is pretty bored with the tan walls and the hospital food.
By the way, you know you are in a TEXAS hospital when they serve the patients beef brisket for lunch.
A lot of folks are e-mailing and asking about coming to visit this weekend. We'd say sure. We'd have to ask for you to make it a short visit, but we'd say come on up, down, over, out... but no one knows yet where she'll be this weekend.
Soon as she tells us what the plan is, we'll let you know. Promise.
We are hoping for a morning meeting with the doctors. But we are prepared to superglue their car doors shut to make sure the meeting happens before they leave.
Meantime, Kelly has the watch tonite in the hospital.
See you in the morning!
