Not much has changed. Moms still in a lot of pain, fluid is still being drained from the plural cavity and she's still on bed rest. I overheard that the doctors might want to go ahead with the filter surgery in the leg artery. I don't have any more info on that right now.
I think I figured out a way you guys can further help out my mom, well at least the locals for the time she's at Saddleback. She's been eating here and there in small amounts. But the food at this hospital is really not ideal - they serve the same things every day on a schedule. I find that Chris and myself are often running around getting her something that she'll eat. I know in the mornings she consistently likes a bagel with cream cheese and an açaí smoothy from Mothers market. Both can be found right down the street at Starbucks and Mothers. For lunch she sometimes has a salad and a chicken sandwich of some sort. I know Chris has been going to BJ's for that which is also right down the street on El Toro. Anyways, if anyone is ever feeling up to bringing her something, I know it would make her stay a little more cosy. Chris has this challenge down for the most part, but he and I both can't always bring her food as often as we'd like.
I noticed moms phone has a ton missed calls and such, she can't really focus on her phone right now. I'm trying to relay messages from you guys to her, but the last few visits I've made my mom appears to be kinda out of it - really sleepy and in pain. I will let her know she's loved by all of you when I get a chance to talk to her, and thank you.
With love, Mike.
Mike-
Thanks for the continued updates.
I will be coming by for a short visit either Thursday or Friday.
It may only even be minutes, but I want to see her.
Also, alison will be contacting you- she wants to find out about if there's a way we can bank blood for her (would that help?)
