Great night, almost 6 hours sleep! Walking the halls has commenced, pain is managed. She's starting to feel froggy again!

Hey all, everything is well as expected, she got a shower today and is now in her own clothes so not only does she smell better she looks more herself.
Doc may put a PIC line in tomorrow as she really needs some calories, she is weak as a newborn colt. Her gut started making more noise today but isn't at the point where she can lose the n/g, therefore cannot intake any substance. But overall her spirit is good, she is back to cracking jokes just have to be patient a little longer. FYI she says NEVER to have two major surgery's at once, takes too much outta ya. |

Morning everyone, PICC line is going in as I type...I hope once they get some nutrients into her she will feel stronger, had a good night they tried to keep the room visits down to every 4 hours as oppossed to the every two that they had been doing. She has had a real good group of folks looking after her and they don't seem to mind me butting in snicker...
Hope evryone is doing well, Jo my prayers are with you and your mom |

Ok, so just need to lay this out, I really don't understand how in the world this can happen today.
My dad called me Thanksgiving weekend, for a family update. I come from a large family, so it usually takes a while, and that's fine, but at the end of the conversation, he says (rather casually) "and Robin is recovering from her stroke, and is now walking" uhhmmm Robin is only 42, WHAT stroke??!!?? She has 4 young children... "and Meagan's Doctors are giving her 6 months, her biopsy came back Stage IV cervical cancer, and it's in the llymph nodes that they took from her groin and underarms" WTH---Meagan, my niece, is only 23!! And she usually does her PAPs every 2 years, and she had the vaccine....it's not like she's 30, and never been to the gyn...that's fast growing, it's already in her lymph nodes, and it's bilateral. have been wigged out for almost a month about this, some of the shock has worn off, but still floored. Will be making the 10 hour drive more frequently... |

Well the PICC didn't go, they sent the in-room group to handle it and they couldn't get to the vein . They did start her on a intravenous solution which has perked her up...Monday they will send her to the OR and cut the PICC in...
On a good note she has been declared cancer free! all Bi-ops came back clear from the surrounding tissue... |

The last two days my mother has been getting dizzy when she stands up or walks far at all...evidently this is the dehydration problem returning. They cut her TPN back to 12 hours a day right before she came....so one week later, she's fading.
I have a call in to her oncologist and he'll be adjusting her back to 24/7 TPN. She's not happy about this, but clearly she needs it. In the meantime, Rooster and I are both bringing her drinks every hour or two...otherwise she "forgets." She has never been a plain water drinker....part of the problem. The doctors are also saying she should not have abdominal pain anymore, shouldn't need her pain meds, and should be able to eat and drink virtually normally. She insists that she can't...and truly seems to be able to eat a maximum of 4 or 5 bites of very soft food. Her abdomen clearly hurts...and she's still on liquid morphine (and a host of other meds). She is convinced there is something else going on that the doctor isn't seeing. They insist that there isn't...and that she should be much better other than fatigue and nausea from the chemo. Her condition is not improving at all. She weighed 111 on my scale, 114 on her doctor's....fully dressed. I can get food in her better than when she was at home or in the hospital....Rooster can amuse her....I can take care of all her other needs...but she is visibly failing...even on chemo.

We've been doing lots of chicken broth, tea with honey, and anything else we can get in her....I picked up a seedless watermelon at the farmers market yesterday and that seems to be working pretty well.

Took two big steps forward today, got rid of the morphine and bowels are talking! May or may not need the PICC line now ( the in room crew used the ultrasound which didn't work the other day) doc will decide tomorrow.
Clay has kept the nursing staff in stitches today so you know she is feeling better and better. I have kept her updated with all of your good wishes.... |

YAY Clay!!! This is wonderful news! Does she need to have a proper poop before she can leave the hospital, County?
I got an email yesterday from my sister in NYC. She had her second chemo last Friday and already her blood work is showing a positive response to the drugs. The first chemo she had a mild allergic reaction to the rituxin (sp?) so this time the pushed it in super slow and she did great. Her weight is slowly stabilizing and she is no longer coughing!! I am so excited for her and I think she is starting to believe she might beat this thing!!! I made her a chemo blanket using her favorite colors and am popping it into the mail today. GO CANCER FIGHTERS, GO!! Jo, I was going to echo YB's frozen fruit recommendation, but since she can't do cold that won't work. I will keep her in my prayers. |
