Here we are at day four, since we took mom to the hospital. She is still there, but will most likely be released tomorrow. Here are the updates as we know them as of now. My brain has felt a little jumbled these past few days so please bare with me. I feel like I can't even think straight with all that is happening and all the information that keeps coming our way. 

After the doctors ran some preliminary tests, they decided to do a CT scan yesterday to get a better look at what was going on. Basically, the CT scan results showed what we already knew and additionally showed lesions on the pelvis that we were unaware of. There is nothing more to really do with this information as we know already that she has cancer and are aware that it will continue to spread.

Mom did have a small infection that was forming, but she was given an antibiotic to take care of that. The kidneys are now starting to function properly. They believe that they were failing before due to lack of hydration and nourishment. Now that mom has been on an iv, she has been well hydrated. She also feels a lot better and looks amazingly better then when we took her in. Her skin is hardly yellow now. Her appetite is also back and she has been eating/drinking everything on her all liquid diet that the hospital has put her on.

The doctors did say that they wanted to try to get a second opinion on everything. We also have been wanting this all along. They kept her for one more night because nothing has come back yet on that opinion. We hope to hear tomorrow.

We will likely still need hospice to come in to help with her care as she is still very weak and unable to do too many things on her own now. Just keep praying for the paperwork end on this though. We were told today that hospice will not care for her unless they are resident of CA. This is not a quick process and so we are trying to find out what our options are.
