News that is Bueno!

Well, the doc came and talked to my mom this morning and gave her some good news! There is some level in her blood that has to be between 2.0 and 3.0 and right now it is sitting at 1.7. So, they expect it to get there tomorrow or the next day. And when that happens, she gets to go home! Yay! They also told her, that the dangerous part had passed and things are on the upside now.

A couple things to pray for though. One is that she would take good care of herself with the treatment regimen they are giving her and with other medical issues that she already had before all of this. Also, they found a nodule on her thyroid and in a while (like a few months), she will have to have it biopsied to see if it is malignant (cancerous). However, if thyroid cancer is caught early enough, it is one of the "better" ones to get because it is one of the easiest to treat. Lastly, she has to do an outpatient sleep study to see if she has sleep apnea (where she stops breathing intermittently at night). If she does in fact have it (which she probably does), she will have to wear a CPAP machine (oxygen mask) at night and she is kind of scared of it as she is claustrophobic. So just pray for those things that they would be resolved and treatments would go well.

Thanks friends! Love you all!
