Fredia was getting weaker by the day and less acute in her mind. Nobody seemed to know why. Friday we called her primary care doctor but he was on vacation. The doctor covering for him listened to us and said to put her in the hospital and he would run some tests; something had to be causing this. Friday evening we put her in Providence Medical Center Portland. While in the emergency room, they gave her a breathing treatment and there was an almost immediate improvement. During the day on Saturday they gave her two more breathing treatments and put her on oxygen. They also gave her a medication that is supposed to pull the excess liquid from the lungs, etc. When I took her a Cheesesteak Sub at 6:30 PM last night she had actually been able to sit up on the edge of the bed BY HERSELF and get out of bed to use the bathroom. She was alert and said she hadn't felt this good in months. I asked the nurses what treatments she had receied and they said just her regular meds, breathing treatments and lasik (sp) the med to pull out the moisture and potassium.
You all have been terrific in your support and prayers. The cancere has actually shrunk a little even without the chemo. Bless you all!
