Still Here ....

Unfortunately mum has not been discharged from the hospital . She is still not drinking or eating enough , but she is making good progress. We will wait to see how she is doing tomorrow morning. This is dissapointing, but it's best to have her completely well before she leaves Buffalo .
Her last day of radiation was today . This was a milestone as it feels like a long haul. She was seen by the resident, Dr Luqman Dad and also Dr Presaud . She will be seen back at Roswell in three weeks for a follow up and she can expect more imaging studies in the next three months.
Dr Presaud said that she has no restrictions in terms of movement or exercise and she can do as much as she feels able .She can come back to be seen by radiation if she has any more pain , but typically she is expected to do well .

Hmmmm ...... mum had already started to pack her bags to get out , but she has to be careful for the sake of a couple of days.......

Her mood was lifted however with the news that Frank , her nephew from New Zealand is coming over for the first two weeks of August. This is wonderful news and we can't wait to see him.
