Monday morning update

Ruth has had a rough rest of last week and a rough weekend. We were able to get her into Shaw on Friday for some fluids and to manage her pain a little better. We were also able to get the echocardiogram to see whether her heart is strong enough for chemo on Friday as well. She spent the weekend in bed resting. She was able to make it to the annual Wild West Day on Sunday at 4 Eagle Ranch a fundraiser for all elementary schools in Eagle County for a little while. She says she is weak all over, no energy and still just not herself. We are hoping that this is just due to the fluid removal. After asking the nurse at Shaw on Friday this could be caused due to the fluid removal and it could also be a progression of the disease. She is meeting with her oncologist today- Monday at Shaw to discuss what her next course of action will be. She will see if her body is strong enough to have chemo. We appreciate your phone calls, however we might not be able to return your call as we have numerous calls to return each day. Please continue to check back here for updates. If you would like to call us please call Bob at work at 970-754-6738 rather than our home phone as Ruth is resting, thanks! I’ll write another update later today or tomorrow after her visit with the oncologist. Thanks for all your prayers and support we could not get through this without you all!
