Mood:  down

Hello,

So much for a few relaxing days off due to a holiday...at least it is beautiful out there for those who can enjoy it. Ryan is enjoying it immensely with friends.

Morgan, on the other hand, is stuck inside here at DHMC. This admission to DH was far from planned...and it happened pretty suddenly. The back pain that I mentioned in the last update, along with a painful belly, head, arm and legs...accompanied by a "swollen tongue" and fever...landed her here in room 536.

She had a MRI yesterday evening of her brain and back, but nothing is showing up. Before the MRI, she had a radiation face mask made incase the MRI showed something that would have to be addressed/radiated this weekend. With nothing showing up, we are still in limbo.

So, we'll be hanging out here to try to figure out what is going on. She is full of pain meds as well as itchy meds (pain meds make her itchy) so she can be comfortable. We are looking at possible Xrays of her arm and skull as well as a CT scan today. We also need to figure out the chemo situation - is the current chemo regiment working or do we go to step 2?. Tons of questions...no real answers.

God willing, we'll know soon what is going on so we can address it!!

I'll update more later when I get more info.

Thanks for the prayers and God Bless,
~Lisa
