She is doing real good. Took her out lastnite to see my niece in a play. I don't think she will be in there that long.

She is doing great and is being released todaw but is not coming home but to rehab. The rehab place is manor care in Roselle where she was before.

She is doing as can be expected. She once again eating to fast took some food and 7up into her lungs. She doesn't eat like this at home don't know why she does her.

Well she is back in the hospital. The radiation treaments are making her real weak. Plus as normal for just about everyother month her c02 level rises. She is at Lutheran General and probably enjoying her vacation.

Mom is doing good. She starte chemo last week she goes in on monday and gets this pump that she is attached to for 3 days. She is also going to start radiation for the esophageal tumor. This should be fun it was the rad that put her in the hospital the first time.

Mom came home today. Not by the doctors choice they wanted her there for a few more days, but mom being stubborn said either release me thursday or I'll sign myself out. She is doing ok still a little weak. Hope all are having a Happy Thanksgiving

Well the results of the upper Gi she has cancer in the esophagus. Said its not connected to the original tumor in the neck but if by the picture it looks to be there. Good news tho she is still in the hospital she isn't she is now at the rehabilitation hospital.

Well. The good news is she is off pureed and onto normal food and tomorrow is going across the street to the rehabilitation hospital. She getting there.

Well. The good news is she is off pureed and onto normal food and tomorrow is going across the street to the rehabilitation hospital. She getting there.

She is doing great. Moved out icu wednesday to transitional care then moved again thur to stepdown. Then again friday to a ward so she is actually out of icu. She is ok but weak cannot stand i think its the sterroids.

She is out of the icu and into transitional care which is still icu but still not icu. She is really weak physical therapist is with her now and stood her up but she can't stand or take a step cause being so weak. More to come as it comes.

1:50 PM 10 Nov 2009

Ok, I'am a day behind. BUT I have good news. Yesterday around noon they took out the breathing tube and she is breathing on her own. Looking better all the time. THO she doesn't like the pureed food lol will keep ya updated.

Well. I'am at the hospital with her the nurse says she is doing. They said they will probably start pressure testin to try and start weening her off the machine. If this makes sence they are pushn 45% into her at a bpm of 16 bpm.when she is somewhat awake she is breathing at 22 bpm which the respatory guy said is good. They suctioned alot more out of her lungs to.

6:46 pm Sunday, 8 November 2009

Well, She was awake a little when I got there. BUT I do not want to see that look on her face again. The combination I'm going to cry and I'm scared to death. I told her she will be ok, but she shook her head no THEN yes, she did point to the tube and shook her head, we know she didn't want it but the docs say this can be fixed thats why we gave the ok.

They redid the suctioning again this time with a tiny camera and got alot out of her lungs. Doctor says there is still some in her lungs tiny specs and liquid but the body should take care of that. THEY are hopefully going to get her off the tube tomorrow if it doesn't work it goes back. HOPEFULLY NOT FOR LONG

Well not good. She is back in the icu and intubated. Her eating so fast got her in trouble. She was eating so fast she asasperated all the food into her lungs which in turn rose the co2 level and she became unresponsive. So they intubated so they can get the food out. So at the moment they breathing for her. Just pray it comes out fast.
