Hi everyone,
I just wanted to update you on Mom for the last two days.
Yesterday they headed up to Seattle for her blood transfusions.
They got caught in some horrible 1-5 traffic and were late in getting to their appointment. This pushed everything back. They accessed the port to do the preliminary blood check and discovered that one side of the port is blocked with what they believe is a blood clot. The good news is that they can still access the other port side for now. They were still able to give the blood through the one port side. They got started at 3:00 instead of 1:00 so it was sometime after 9:00PM when they returned home. They had an exhausting day yesterday.
This morning I heard from Dad and they are back in the ER at Providence hospital in Centralia. Mom can not swallow again as the mouth sores from the chemo have really flared up. Dad called up to Seattle and they told him to take her to Providence.
She is waiting now to see a Dr. so I don't have anything else to tell you until that is done. Hopefully she will get some earlier help and the sores will resolve themselves faster with good hydration and medical care.
We would ask you to pray for her in this latest bump in the road. Please pray for rest for them both and a quick healing.
The port issue will remain unaddressed until we know for sure if she will continue to need it.
We thank you for your prayer and support of Mom and Dad.
Love,
Kimberly

Deva,
We're praying for you and those stinkin' mouth sores. We're also praying that round 4 was the final round of chemo and that the tumor is GONE! Oh, what a happy day that will be when we get that news! We love you and hope that by the time you read this that your mouth is much better! We love you! Karl and Candi
