**UPDATED**
So as of just a few minutes ago Tuesday was down to 3001 ML positive for her I&O. That’s hospital talk for Ins and Outs. You might think that seems high, and you’d be correct, but it’s less than half of where she was just a week ago. Since the next round of chemo starts Monday, she should be in a great place fluid wise. (Tuesday was 6.4 liters up for fluid, that’s 6400 milliliters or ML. She’s now down to 3 liters or 3001 milliliters or 3001 ML. Getting rid of the fluid leaves more room for things like, um… her lungs and her heart. Chemo requires lots of fluids so starting with no extra fluids is great). Where did she store all those fluids? Topic for another post.
As noted earlier, she’s off the oscillator and back to the normal vent. She’s being weaned down on her sedatives and her vent support.
Everyone who stops by says she just keeps looking better and better.
Now all we need to do it get off the vent, go back up to the 7th floor (oncology) and kick the shit out of her cancer.
Even with your explanations I have nary a clue what you’re saying, but it sounds positive! YAY! Keep peeing little Tuesday! It was so good to see you yesterday. We are continuing our prayers for Tuesday. Love!
P.S. here is my friend Moreena’s blog address. I was telling you about her last week. http://moreena.typepad.com/
praying that things go well in the next few days and she can be back ont the 7th floor! AND KICK SOME CANCER ASS!!
She will kick the shit out of this cancer!
BTW, have I told you you are the world’s “absolute best
son in law ever,” yet this month??
Great writer too!!!
I guess some of your Mom’s brilliance for
those genes were passed along.
Kick it’s ass Tuesday! K*I*C*K I*T’*S A*S*S!!!!!
I’m soo soo happy to hear that her fluid has gone way down!! I am praying so hard it continues to drop and relieve pressure on her lung so that she can breathe on her own!! You can do it Tuesday! Look how strong you are being already!! 🙂 I have no doubt that she will win!!
Hugs and Kisses (and Prayers of course) being sent your way!!
Keep the good news a comin and keep kickin this disease’s butt!
Yeap Clueless here too, as long as it is positive i´m happy!!! praying hard here!
Amen to that!

I just know God is listening and so glad He is giving you hope and strength. (now, just take care of yourself & hope you feel better soon!)
Much love always,
Debi
