Diana is still exceeding everyone's expectations. Dr. Sardi would have let Diana go home yesterday if she wanted. We discussed it and decided that until Diana's oxygen is better stabilized, she is better off here where professionals can help her. Dr. Sardi acquiesced but he definitely thinks she is ready.
Diana said she had a very good night last night. I stayed at Hope Lodge where I can shower and relax a little. As I write this she is on another floor in Occupational Therapy. There they teach her how to do the most basic of things like putting on her socks, getting into bed, and other things she will need to do prior to getting her strength back.
We are very encouraged so far. While we don't have the lab reports back of the stuff they removed, we hope that no further chemo will be required.
I would like to give a shout out to our friend Nancy, a retired oncology nurse herself. Nancy spent the day with Diana on Tuesday, allowing me to return home for awhile to take care of business. Nancy and her husband Ted have been steadfast friends for over 30 years now. We are truly blessed.
Please continue to keep Diana in your thoughts.
Mike
