She had surgery on the right lung to drain fluid. It was the same that was performed on the left, the Talc pleurodesis. While the doc was in there, he did remove a tumor that had metastasized from the diaphragm. So, there WAS metastases to the lung.
She's in a lot of pain, and is having trouble breathing on the right side. She is hitting her pain button a lot, and is all tangled up in tubes and pissed off about it. She just wanted to update. She says if she gets out of here, the party is this weekend. She (and me too!) Says thank you all for your love and support.
I will update as I am asked to. Ginny, if you want to come she is on the ICU at Good Sam.
Love to all,
A ridiculous amount of prayers and good thoughts coming your way. Seriously, get the Guinness World Record people on the line-- it's going to be epic. Hang in there and take care of yourselves. Both of you.
ReplyDeleteSending love and prayers as always and more grace under pressure juju to you because I know you're about to lose it from being so irritated. Not the type of person who can handle being un-independent for long. :-D Thank you, Melissa, for the update. You know your mom's a rock star and her fans MUST have frequent updates or we get cranky too. Love to you as well.
