We are Going Home

They are releasing us from Hell Ward; Mom and I are on our way home with Terry's and Rob's help. The large, loud rednecks did not stop hacking up goop, laughing and smoking (outside and coming in reeking) and shouting, all day. There were no naps at all on our side of the curtain.

Tests have come back saying she has Stage 4 cancer, an adenocarcinoma.

That is all we can say at this point except that is it not lung cancer and it is not breast. More tests obviously forthcoming.

She will be seeing the pulmonologist tomorrow, outpatient, to have a shunt put in to drain the pleural effusion on her own so she can breathe.

We are both so tired we are hallucinating, we would love to answer all your kind and loving questions as soon as we know more, but not today.

Sleeping day!
