Unsurprisingly, they've admitted Rhonda for at least until tomorrow. The attending physician in the ICU department, finally arrived. I kind of overheard him on the phone in this busy room (apparently Monday's are one of the busiest days for ERs), speaking to Lily's oncologist. I was pleased by this happy accident of overhearing him, as I now would respect his opinion entirely. And it wasn't good.
While we were waiting, Lily kind of fell asleep after they injecting her IV with pain killers. No big deal, I thought. Then she started seizing, slightly. Like major twitching.
Well, I was wrong. There's a concern now that the cancer has spread into her brain. They will MRI her brain, tomorrow. She's also incredibly anemic now, as well. So, there going to giver a blood transfusion, again.
When we asked about the kidney theory, they said the could conclude anything as the cancer on both her kidneys, have almost enveloped the organs, themselves, that they were unable to see anything in the kidney, at all.
Meanwhile, if you were to walk into Lily's room, she would be smiling, giggling and chatting meaningfully.
That's the weird part. I can talk to her like she's next to me in bed.
Like nothing has happened. But everything has..
I am staying home nearby as I think "hospice" is going to be discussed with us, tomorrow. I pray, too, that isn't going to happen, but you have to prepare yourself. You do not have choice, coincidentally.
Try and enjoy the fact that she isn't in pain. That is huge. You may want to consider triggering your FMLA time off now if you haven't already done so. Sending my love and prayers to you both.
