Down... But not Out.

I didn't get a chance to post yesterday as I'm in DC for business.

Tony, Kathy, Shannon & Mom went to the Mayo Monday morning for Mom's consultation/examination.

Monday was a series of CT Scans and blood work, and then a break.

Tuesday was consultation, and review of above mentioned scans and blood work.

Today, Mom's being put in the hospital to have fluid drained from around her heart. There's nearly a pint floating around there, and the doctors want to get it out of there.

So, here's the good, the bad and the ugly.

The good: We have some direction, we know what's going on.

The Bad: What's going on is no picnic.

The Ugly: The cancer has spread. It started out as a few masses in her left lung, now it's spread to her right, and up into her neck. She'll be starting more rounds of Chemo to try to knock it out.

It took me awhile to get this posted, because we're heartbroken. We wanted different news than what we got, that much is obvious. Like I said... we're down, but not out!

Thanks for your continued love, prayers and support. It means the world to us.

All my love,
Abby
