With all praise to God, we are grateful to report that Mom received her new IV port yesterday and the surgery was successful. Thank you, God! Mom is in a lot of pain when she isn't on Vicadan, so she has made Vicadan her new best friend. When I talked with her this morning she was "feeling no pain" and was quite joyful. The doctors anticipate allowing her to leave the hospital sometime tomorrow. Mom is thrilled by this thought.
Unfortunately, the infection the doctors hoped to clear up by removing her last port did not work. Mom still has an infection somewhere in her body that is undetected. She currently has lesions on her spleen, liver and lungs along with the fungus on her lungs. She runs fevers most nights which need to be monitored diligently. Mom has been eating okay with no diarrhea or vomiting. This is very good.
Dad's trip to Mexico was successful. I had not realized that he had taken a "partner in crime' in join in his adventure. Ray Egan, Mom's brother in law, went with Dad. They arrived in Mexico on Tuesday and had dinner with friends. Then on Wednesday morning they headed north and returned on Saturday. It must have been lots of fun for both men as Uncle Ray had lots of new technology for them to try out along the way. I am sure that Dad enjoyed his time with Uncle Ray greatly. They have been good friends for years! Mom was very glad to see Dad when he returned.
All is right in Mom's world today, praise the Lord. Thank you for your prayers and support. May your day be abundantly blessed.
