After talking with my mom yesterday evening she is doing well. She was able to have some soup for lunch. Hopefully she will be able to return home on Tuesday or Wednesday. With encouragement from my father she has been walking a lot and sitting up in the chair more.
When I called her this morning she was optimistic. She had some divestive system luck, was able to keep dinner down. They are hoping that the epidural will come out today and maybe the NG tube. She is looking forward to coming home as soon as they clear her to go. Of course it is dependent on her eating some more food and observation. They hope to talk to Dr. Davis this morning- he has been out all weekend at the National Gynecological Oncology Conference in California- we hope that he has some new treatment ideas for her or maybe some new chemo success have been studied and are ready for use! I will post this evening.
Thanks for your prayers!
Here are a couple of past history interesting facts:
-Ruth had her original surgery 2 years ago on January 16, 2007
- She liked her room so much they gave her the exact same room this time- I think she never wants to be in it again!
-She had been in remission for about 18 months till her most recent diagnosis
