Well, there's no good news from the Valley today........... The CAT scan showed that there's fluid built up in both lungs. They can't do a chest tube on both sides, so they'll pulled the one out and put in a new one on her right side. The doctor's only hypothesis for Jennifer was that the tumor is causing irritation and instigating the build up. The good news is that Mom is not in constant pain. She is getting regular doses of morphine, so just as she starts to feel uncomfortable, she's able to get more medicine to get past it.
Today being October 7 also means that it's been one year since Dad passed away. We took Nate to the cemetery today to go see "sick papa" and he wondered where he was, and we told him this is where we come to remember him.
So all in all, let's chalk this up to a pretty crappy day!
I just wish Mom could catch a break because being cooped up in the hospital hooked up to all sorts of tubes can't be much fun. Is this what being on all these prayer lists gets you? The "wonder and mystery" of God seems downright cruel to me sometimes.
