Some good news

OK, Dr. Meade in rounds today told Trish that she could be discharged as early as tomorrow. (Of course it could be as late as the weekend). His orders to Trish were EAT and WALK!

If she is eating and walking, they will let her out. She has some pain today from the biopsy. It was transjugular, meaning they inserted through her neck, threaded down the jugular vein down to her liver. The sedation didn't work so well and the pressure they applied aferwards to insure she wouldn't bleed really hurt.

Last night she received her second and last dose of cytoxan (for this treatment anyway) and she slept well mos of the morning. This afternoon I will force her to walk a lot and go back and do laundry and sanitze the apartment. It will be a busy day.

Keep up the good work at providing her with encouragement and good cheer this will be very important in the next few weeks.
