It's been an up and down kind of week. A little roller coaster-ish. My mother-in-law's surgery went well. Then she had some complications with low blood pressure and low hemoglobin leading the doctors to believe she had some internal bleeding. After several tests it was determined she had a little bleeding that luckily resolved itself without further surgery being needed. A blood transfusion really turned things around.
Now we have found out 2 of the 11 lymph nodes taken out were malignant. Not the news we wanted to hear. But thankfully not as bad as it sounds. We will get the whole picture when we meet with the oncologist. The good news is from her scans and x-rays it appears the cancer has not spread to other organs or surrounding tissue. Her spirits are high and optimistic. She is handling all of this like a strong lady!
And just as of ten seconds ago I spoke to her. SHE IS HOME! Yeah discharged this morning.
Thank you God,
Joyce
