Mom had a good weekend in the hospital and is beginning to bounce back after the latest round of chemo. She continues to receive heparin to decrease the blood clots in her legs, and has been able to move around a little.
She has developed a bit of infection in her mouth (thrush), and I'm guessing that it may have come about from her week immune system after Chemo #3. It hurts her a little to talk, and she's really hoarse - hopefully the infection will subside after a few days. She can barely talk, though, so calling her on the phone may be futile!
Other than that, things are fine. Still has the wound-vac in the abdomen, and her clavicle wound continues to heal (slowly). Physical therapy is set to come this afternoon, and they will get her out of bed and walking. No talk of letting her leave in the hospital in the near future, so she'll be in MRH for a few more days at least. She's in good hands with Dr. McCoy and the progressive care team at Montgomery, and we are thankful for all of their compassion.

Hi Beth, You have been in my thoughts since I found out this weekend. I don't think we have talked since you phoned a while back for the prints. I will look forward to talking with you again when you are up to it. A big hug! Leslie Gregg
