It sounds like Mom will be discharged later today. Her new home and neighbors will be anxiously waiting for her! Unfortunately, her phone service won't be transferred to the new apartment until sometime tomorrow, so you will have to wait to call.
The next step will be a PET scan performed as an outpatient procedure, probably next week. We'll then be consulting with a radiation oncologist and an interventional radiologist to evaluate the various possible treatments.
Mom has resumed eating and has been tolerating her meals very well. She seems to have regained her appetite and then some! She's walking around the halls independently so we're expecting a quick return to an active life.
Stay tuned for more....

Great news! We're glad she is doing so much better and is going home. The Farrells
ReplyDeleteHello DresherDan,
ReplyDeleteWe are so glad to hear that your mom is moving into her new place; I think she will really like it there. She is so lucky to have the 'treatment team' to walk with her and to keep her spirits lifted. Please know that we will be keeping your mom and you all close to our hearts and in our thoughts and prayers. We were just visiting M & D in PA and it is still sort of sad to me that there are no Faddens across the street anymore! Great job on the blog--what a terrific way to keep connected.
