Another Sucky Day

I can't sleep....

Mimi was finally diagnosed though I am guilty of not understanding it all 100 percent. She has something called colitis sigmoid and some other things. Basically a good portion of her colon has to go. It is enlarged, infected and dying, the doctor explained it like gangrene, hence the fever and pain. The other portion of the colon has a large tumor on it so that portion has to go to. I believe she is looking at like 75-85 percent of it to be removed.

They really wanted to do the surgery ASAP but they couldn't because of her condition. They are trying to strengthen her with meds and such first. She will need a blood transfusion prior to the surgery as well so they are trying to locate blood for her. Her blood type is very rare because she does not have a spleen. They are shooting for Wednesday, after unsuccessfully shooting for today (Monday). In the mean time we sit and wait and she sits in fear and pain.

The kids have some minor issues but seem to be on the way to recovery thank goodness.

Have a great rest of the night,
