Let's see, where to start. Well all 5 kids were together with Jack and Cindy today. That was nice to see under not so great of circumstances. Michael got into town about 1am last night. I know that Cindy was so happy to see all of her kids. They haven't all been together since Christmas.
When we came to the hospital in the morning, there was really not too much of a change. She did look a little less swollen and her breathing was more relaxed. They also had taken the dose of her blood pressure medicine down a little bit.
The doctors came in this evening and gave the family some more information. They did a neurological exam and there was really no voluntary responses. They decided to go ahead with the chemo treatment tomorrow and do a neuro exam each day to measure the progress. They are also going to inject some dye into her port, scan her brain, and then see if there is anything going on there. The oncologist said that we will know by the end of the week if the chemo is having any effect at all. We are also in uncharted territory. None of the doctors have had a case like this, so no one is sure what is going to happen. It is a wait and see situation. Since we don't know what will happen, we are of the belief that anything could happen. So we wait.
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid." (John 14:27)
