Amy's birthday

[Guest guest]

Hey guys

Thanks for all the birthday wishes to Amy. She didn't start this

birthday off with a bang, that's for sure. I came in this morning

and the poor thing had been vomitting all night - she greeted me

with more. However as the morning progressed she seemed to be

feeling a little better. She had a bath and we changed the sheets

on her bed. I gave her a foot rub with some new cream she got for

her birthday. She opened some presents and now she is having a

little rest before Paigey comes in for a visit with my mom, dad,

Jodie and Jeff will join us as well.

The doctors were in this afternoon to discuss the procedure they are

going to do on the lungs. Amy did not have to have her lungs tapped

this morning because they are just going to drain them when they

insert the chest tube. They will probably have to do both lungs are

they are both surrounded with fluid now. They also confirmed that

the fluid is cancerous.......... I think we were all expecting

that to be the case. They also talked again about putting Amy on

the IV nutrition line again since she is unable to keep anything

down. They said we could definately bank on being her for AT LEAST

another 2 weeks. Not a great birthday present from them, eh??!!

Anyways,

take care
