PET Scan results...

First, mom had another good night. She fell asleep before 8pm after a pretty exciting day. She slept well through the night with minimal fuss during nightime checks on bloodpressure, bloodraws, turning over, etc.

She woke up about 5:30am and had me lift her bed so that she could sit up a bit and "watch tv". Well, at least she nodded "yes" when I asked her if she was going to watch tv. She fell back asleep and I held her hand and laid my head down by her side. Just before 6am, she stirred a bit and I asked her if she wanted me to lower her bed. She nodded "yes" and as I pressed the button, she stopped me and put her hand on my head and lowered it back down. Then she ran her hand through my hair a couple of times and patted my head. She's still my momma.

Mondo stopped by for a bit on his way to work and took my dad some breakfast. While he was there Dr. Pratt came in. This is what I understand was said;

• Results from the PET scan: The tumor and lymph node in her lungs are active, but masses were not found anywhere else in her body.
• Biopsy: The biopsy may or may not happen today. Dr. Pratt's biggest concern about the biopsy would be bleeding, so they have taken her off blood thinners. He feels it's a relatively low risk procedure. We haven't been given a time when the procedure will take place (we do know that she cannot eat 4 hours prior to it).
