We went to see Mom yesterday. She looked better and seemed to feel better.
We went to see her today and she didn’t seem to feel as good or look as good. She had a couple of flushing episodes or went into Carcinoid Crisis as they call it. Basically she turns really red, gets really weak, and starts to sweat really bad. It is past time for her Sandostatin shot which helps to prevent these episodes.
If you ever want to read up on Carcinoid Cancer, I found this tonight and it explains a lot of what Mom experiences.
They are talking about moving her up to a different floor Monday to begin rehab. Occupational and Physical therapy will work with her about 3 hours a day up there. I think this will help her get much stronger and able to do more at home. She just seems so weak right now.
It has been a little frustrating this week because she has seen a new doctor almost every day. Her case is so complex, it is quite hard for a new doctor to fully understand her situation and in my opinion give her the best care. I guess we will see what happens this next week.
Please continue to pray for her.
**We are making progress. Hayden did get up in bed with her today and gave her a hug. :-)
