Feeling a Little Better

Well, we are here with Shirley tonight and she is feeling a little better. Today we did get the results of her PET Scan back. Nothing really that we didn't already know. She developed pancreatitis and was taken off all food and drink today. They did hook her up to a pain pump and she can get some relief when she needs it. We did not get her lumbar puncture results yet. But they do not think it has gone to her brain. But we will see. They are expecting the results Monday.

The treatment for Pancreatitis is basically stay off everything and let your body rest. She did say she was hungry this evening so maybe by morning she will actually be able to eat some breakfast. Wouldn't that be awesome.

Timmy (yes, I said Timmy) is spending the night with her tonight. He is so excited. And Shirley is actually o.k. with it. Kathy bought her some new jammies and socks and so she is sleeping in those now and of course they were purple (her favorite color). She looks very comfortable and so I can leave here tonight feeling ok. We will hope for a better tomorrow. Pray for Shirley to sleep well tonight and be able to have a good breakfast. She really needs to eat. Just to get enough strength so we can take her home.

Oh and Janet - Timmy's birthday is January 5th and Tommy's is January 8th. But that is nice that you remembered. And again I love all of you and your comments.

Love, Teresa
