Sorry for the delay in updating.  On Monday we went for blood counts at oncologist and they admitted Mom to hospital for obstruction in her bowel.  Her stomach was very distended and she was extremely uncomfortable.  After dealing with the "Keystone Cop" mentality associated with the Weatherford Regional Hospital they did a series of lower GI x-rays yesterday that were not only diagnostic but theraputic and she finally had some relief.  She is very weak and anemic.  They had her on an NG tube for 48 hours so once again she could not eat anything.  That's another issue with all this is that the battery of tests she has to have done all require no eating so that's not helping her nutrition issues.  We are on our way to get hair done "yeah"!! They gave her an iron treatment at the hospital that we are hoping gives her more energy. 

We go back to Dr. on Monday for what is supposed to be her next chemo treatment.  The Dr. will do bloodwork and evaluate the situation before we know if this will actually happen that day or not. 

Thanks to everyone as always for your support.
