Well, results are back from the CT scan. She still has fluid and swelling along the area where the tumor was, which is still normal. She has been given platelets and plasma this afternoon to increase blood count levels. Her vitals still look good. Dr. Rao came in to talk with us again and there will be one more CT scan first thing in the morning. Hopefully the fluids will disappear and they will move her to a "regular" room. Pray tonight for her to get a comfortable nights rest and that her fluid/swelling on the brain will have disappeared!
Side notes: Dad got to go to the hotel to freshen up and rest a bit, since he's spending the night w/ mom in ICU room. Grandma and Virgil met up with one of Virgil's friends he met while serving in the Korean War. Breck and Ryan are still traveling down here to be with all of us. This place is wonderful....lots to see and do here! Beautiful aquariums, cafe's, etc.....
Mom really wanted some apple juice and ice cream, but she can't have anything except ice chips as of now....we're going to get her the biggest ice cream cone after she gets out of here! :)
Love and prayers--the forrester fam
