so i am sure you may have heard through the grapevine that we were back at Chateau de Sloan for a lovely 8 days... the first 5 nights were pretty sweet, mom had her own room with a beautiful view... it was quite spectacular! :-)
anywhooooo... during our lovely visit we were informed that mom's "levels" were off and the best way to fix them was to get these stents put in... one in her right kidney and one in her liver / bile ducts... so we said.. lets do it... on monday, we were on our way down to get the liver stent, literally on the gurney when we got BUMPED! we were not happy... but we were promised that our kidney stent on tuesday would go off without a hitch and it did...
On wednesday, we were going in for the liver stent again, when the doctors reread that cat scan and realized that they could do the procedure endoscopic (through the mouth) instead of going through her side.. but the doc that could do that was unable to do it on wednesday, so we got bumped, again!! but our amazing attending knew that would really tick mom off, so she was able to have mom get a Medi-Port put in on wednesday as a trade off for being bumped... mom was thrilled because a medi-port is like a permanent I.V. that hides out under your skin, and you can get blood drawn from there, have chemo and I.V. solutions... it is awesome!
anywhoooo.. thursday, mom successfully got her liver stent and lucky for me, her throat was sore, so she couldn't speak..!! :-) (just kidding mom...) :-)
friday after a quick scan, we were discharged and we went home to enjoy a fantastic night with jenny, don, donnie, julia, liam, billy & amy... it was great! sheila and the kids made welcome home posters... it was great!
saturday morning we were awakened with a surprise which you can read in my next entry, but were lucky to have a few murphy's make their way out for a visit... which mom loved!
well... i hope all is well with you all...
love and miss you and please keep on praying for us!
