Iva went in yesterday for additional draining of the fluid on her lungs since it has come back after the last procedure. Today she went in for a follow-up appointment, and her lungs were found to be full of fluid and blood. She was admitted to the hospital and is currently waiting to be settled into a room.
They will place a drain in her chest and keep her until she feels better. The last couple of weeks she has been feeling dizzy and short of breath. She has been fatigued and having lots of pain. No appetite and all that.
Our biggest concern is the bleeding. Her first tumor developed a large sack of fluid around it called a hematoma. This tendency to cause bleeding is a component of her type of sarcoma. Telangiectatic features, they call it. Worrisome to say the least.
We continue to pray for all of you daily, usually multiple times in a day, whenever we think of you—which is more than you may realize, since we don't post every time we pray.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could help more. My heart aches for all of you.
Love, Sue.
