Hi everyone,
This morning when we all got up, dad and mom were both dressed and ready to go to Tulsa???!! We helped finish packing them a small bag and they left quickly this a.m. We all made sure the things around the house were finished/cleaned up and then we left shortly behind them.
Mom has been having pain after she tries to swallow during drinking and eating, so dad brought her up to St. John's today to the ER. She had to be here anyway tomorrow (Monday) to see Dr. Woosley about a check-up and talking about her treatment/radiation plan, etc....so dad thought it was best to just bring her up today to get that pain seen about. She's lost 9 lbs. since they've been home. Please pray that she has some ease and comfort during eating/drinking and that they can figure out the problem and find the source. We'll update later this evening.....thank you for your support! Love, The Forrester's
UPDATE @ 6:45 p.m.---mom was released this afternoon from the ER to go back to Stigler. The ER doctor said that it probably is because of all the medicine's she's on right now. She's taking around 18 different ones....so they are all probably affecting one another to cause inflamation and irritation in her stomach/throat area. They hope it will calm down, once she is able to stop some of her current meds. For now, she is only able to drink protein drinks/shakes and be on a bland diet (soups, etc...). Tomorrow she has a doctor's appt. here in Tulsa again with Dr. Woosley her neuro. Have a great night! We're thankful that is wasn't a major thing.
**please keep my friend Beth's dad, Dale, in your prayers....he's having some struggles still, but is fighting his cancer and infections!!! Here's his blog again, if you all want to follow their family: www.dsflaxbeard.com
