Ok so as I mentioned on Monday we got mom back in the hospital for her cellulitis.  What a long week it has been.  Tuesday dad had a meltdown that there were 6 doctors all trying to figure out what was wrong w/ mom and they were all conversing on different options.  I went to the hospital to check it out for myself.  I met at least 5 of them and mom was great and in seemed fine and in great spirits also.  Some of the doctors even seemed to provide a comedy show for us.  It was actually great fun.  When it came down to it no one could really figure out what was wrong and why and why it had come back.  So on Wed. morning mom called and said she was being released (not sick enough to be in the hospital) and they had a derm appt. for her for a biopsy.  So I got my act together and got there to pick her up and go out to Tucker to her appt.  Another fantastic dr.  She explained that since 6 drs at the hospital couldn't agree on or figure out what was wrong that a biopsy was the best route so we could get this under control w/out pushing meds blindly at it.  Mom was home resting by 3.  The results were "rush" status so we found out yesterday its lymphodema???  Mom made it sound pretty basic and treatable w/ meds.  Cool.  Other than that she is totally fine.  She amazed another round of drs. with her stage 4 kick ass status.  It really is like being with a rockstar hanging with her.  The Drs all act like she is some medical marvel since she is in such amazing health for her "situation".  Ya

    I'm Katie, Susan's daughter, taking on a role that I'm much to young for.  Thankfully my mom has shown me how to fight for a parents life and that is what I intend to do for her.
