Couldn't blog last night....news isn't good....not good at all. The surgeons believe that any surgery is too risky...when you are in the hospital of all hospitals that take risks and they say its too risky...you are in a bad spot. We are waiting today to see her primary doctor to see if/what options there are...I am fearful they are few. Her hemoglobin is dropping basically 1 point every two days...this means the cancer/ulcers in her stomach are bleeding more freely. There is not a way to stop the bleeding. Radiation has come up as a wild card try but we have yet to talk with anyone. She's not in any pain. They have pain meds, good ones for her and IV fluids to keep her hydrated. She knows how bad it is....I'm not sure if she wants to go home or not....Frankly, I am not sure if I could even get her home at this point without her crashing on the way or being in severe pain...but if that's what she would want to do...we would prepare the best we could and take off. She hasn't eaten anything in a week and doesn't seem to want to. With the obstruction, this is probably best.
It's incredible (in a bad way) to think how far we've come since March 25th. Alittle of six weeks, not only have we had to accept that she has cancer but we've also had to accept that she will die from this cancer and die sooner than later. We have literally tried everything that we can but the doors keep closing everywhere. Her blood is very thick because she's been taken off of coumadin to try to keep her from bleeding so the chances of a stroke are grim. Now we wait and see.
