After a few pretty bad days, Kathie is doing a bit better today (though still spending most of the day in bed). Yesterday she got up and took a shower. Christen and Lynette are still trying to forge ahead with the diet - but Kathie is STUBBORN (despite requesting it in the first place), so it has not been going perfectly - but it's hard when she has been feeling so terrible.
Lauren flies in on Saturday and will add to the diet nazis;)
The doctor's office said that there is more fluid between the lining of the lung and the lung, so it was difficult to see if there was any additional infection (pneumonia), but they feel the antibiotic is the best route to continue with. (sorry for ending with a preposition).
Pain meds got boosted from 50 to 75.
Some alternative "medication" has been ordered to try (I can't tell you what it's called - it got lost in the conversation... but maybe while I'm there, I'll remember to update that).
Hopefully Kathie will be up for Emily's birthday celebration and for florist shopping with Lauren next week. Cake testing is off-limits for her, so Chris and Lynette may get "dragged" into it.
