Mom was able to stay at the hospital all weekend and is still there now. She's been getting a ton of fluids and sodium. I think she's on bag number 6 or 7 now. Crazy, huh? She is feeling better and has a lot more strength.
The staff at the hospital has been great. She's been able to meet with a dietitian to talk about her lack of eating as well as her oncologist. Her oncologist came by to look over her blood work and to see what happened this weekend since he wasn't on call. He did decide to postpone chemo for this week. I think she'll get back on a regular routine next week.
Thankfully mom was able to have the fluid removed from her abdomen today around noon. Her blood level was a little too high so they gave her some plasma before the procedure. They were able to remove about 20 pounds. The doctor that did the procedure talked about having her schedule a regular appointment every 2 weeks. We plan to talk to the oncologist about getting that set up next week.
Mom should be released tomorrow morning to go home. Thanks for all your prayers. Please keep them up.
