I'm happy to report that since the last blog, mom has successfully transitioned from the hospital to home.
An endoscopy showed that the pain she was feeling in her chest on Tuesday was being caused by some ulcers that were probably the result of her throwing up and the general stress of being in the hospital for so long. They gave her an antibiotic and an antacid and shortly after the first dose, she was feeling much better.
At home, she hasn't been having any major pain, has been eating more and more and continues to get stronger day by day.
The visiting nurses will be continuing their checkups 3 times a week and helping my dad manage and keep all of mom's medicine and instructions on track.
Today they see Mom's oncologist to discuss the results of the tumor biopsies from the hospital and her general future treatment options.
It's going to be several more weeks until mom is ready to do any further cancer treatments, but for now we are so happy to have her back to a version of "normal" and doing better than she has in a long time.
God truly answered our prayers and your thoughts, prayers and kind words have been really wonderful.
