Dr. Muto (a substitute for Dr. Berkowitz), Dr. Herndon, and Dr. Fleming came in to see Mom at 8. Dr. Herndon examined her incision and was quite pleased by how it is healing. Furthermore, her kidneys have been working to eliminate a lot of fluid (almost hourly), which means her body is gradually restoring itself to normal. This was something they hoped for. This is causing her swelling to go down. Also, Dr. Muto said that the chemotherapy begins to work on the cancer after 10-14 days. This will cause her start feeling better and its effectiveness is measurable. The doctors also said Mom could eat eggs, which is one of her favorite breakfast foods). Overall the entire conversation was quite encouraging.

Joanne, we want to let you know that we are praying for you and your family during this difficult time and trust that the Lord will continue to meet all your needs. You are not alone since we are members one of another and when one member suffers we all suffer. What a great idea to set up this blog as an easy way to communicate with everyone. We are happy to hear that your swelling is going down and pray that you will feel a little better each day.
