Kathie finally got back on track with chemo. She was having a little pain in her lower right lung area and was concerned that maybe she had fluid in her lungs again. They did an x-ray and did not find any fluid in her lung. What they did find was a fractured rib! We have no idea how she got a fractured rib - it's just a hairline fracture, but a little odd, just the same. There is nothing they can do for a fractured rib, so hopefully it will heal up soon.
The chemo went fine following the x-ray, but Kathie is definitely feeling more side effects. The tingling fingers are back and she has been nauseous since chemo on Monday. She's not sure its the meds that are helping her feel a bit better or if its because she's a few days out now.
Her friend Jackie has been staying with her and helping out (since Kathie has difficulty touching anything cold) and this weekend Lauren will be going home, since it's one of Kathie's last weekends at home in Indiana. Her friend Glenda will also be in town with her daughter Deborah.
On a last note, please pray for Jeannie's family. They are spending some time reminiscing and enjoying some family quality time.
