Update 8/28/09

I thought I would take a stab at updating Deb's blog because a lot has happened in the last couple of days. This last Wednesday Deb had a Mugga Resting test at Beaumont Hospital which is a test to see if the heart will stand up to Chemotherapy. As far as we know the results were good, no problem noted. Thursday Deb got up with extreme back pain which really effected her breathing, to the point I almost took her to Beaumont. As the day progressed the pain seem to lighten up a bit so we didn't go to the hospital. Friday AM the back pain was the same as Thursday morning, extremely hard to inhale. She was scheduled for a CAT scan Friday AM which she did. After the CAT scan we went to the plastic surgeons office to get the last drain bulb removed which made the day a really good one. All was going well until we got half way home. We got a phone call from Beaumont instructing us to return ASAP to the Emergeny area of Beaumont. The CAT scan picked up a blood clot in her right lung. She is now in the hospital and at this point we have been advised that she will be there for anywhere between 3 to 10 days depending on whether the clot desolves. This next Thursday she was scheduled to have a port installed in her chest to accommodate one years worth of Chemo. That has now been pushed out for a couple of weeks. Because of the blood thinners that she will now be on, when it comes time for the port to be installed, she will have to spend a week in the hospital. You know what they say, when you are having a bad day there is always someone having a worse one.
