Merry, all is good at home. Liz & I have already gotten past the bumps of the last few days and we are looking forward to having our daughters visit this weekend. I am able to work from home when needed and will be back in the office Friday & Monday while the girls are here.

Our visit with the Cardiologist today began with an EKG and showed that her heart is in good shape. There was very minor fluid built up around the heart showing on the ultrasound. As a reference, the normal amount of fluid is <20, hers is at 22 and actionable levels requiring draining the fluid is >30. She will get a follow up ultrasound in about 10 days to ensure that the fluid is not increasing. So her shortness of breath is probably due to reduced lung function from COPD &/or cancer.

We are still waiting on approval for her P.E.T. scan from the insurance company. If we actually get it tomorrow, there is a good chance that she will get the P.E.T. scan next Tuesday or Wednesday. She has a brain MRI scheduled for next Tuesday to ensure that the cancer has not spread there also.

That's about it for this week.... Have a good weekend everyone!!
