All day Friday, Mom was complaining of pain in her abdomen. After several calls to one of her doctors, she was advised to go to the emergency room, so about 4:00pm we headed off to the hospital where she was diagnosed with gall bladder trouble. It's been a rough couple of weeks for her, and this brings a new level of uncertainty to what's going to happen next week. She has an appointment with her surgeon on Monday for follow-up on the surgery from a couple of weeks ago and I'm sure he'll examine her for the gall bladder trouble at that point.
Last week, we were sure it was going to be her last week of radiation, but her doctor examined her nose and wanted to wait a few days before continuing treatment. So, we're scheduled to resume the last 5 radiation treatments starting on Monday.
While we were at the hospital, however, there was good news, too. We were checking Mom in to the ER when someone slapped me on the shoulder and I turned to see my friend, Bill Grove, standing there. He inquired about Mom and then told me his good news. His wife had delivered their twin daughters earlier in the day. Congratulations!
During the confusion, I didn't get their names, but Bill said Mom and girls were doing well.
