Clinic today was a real bummer! Cora was supposed to have a chemo drug injected into her spine while she was sedated. We arrived, port accessed, blood checked, (levels still OK, but dropping again)and then saw the doctor who heard her cough once and said there is no way we could do the sedation and chemo with her lungs sounding like that! So...we did a breathing treatment with a nebulizer and got some new prescriptions and came home. We got a nebulizer and some albuterol and are following doctor's orders and doing breathing treatments every 4-6 hours until Thursday. Hopefully the cough will be gone by then and we can go ahead with the chemo then and that should't set us back much at all. Please pray that her cough clears by Thursday. She feels much better, but the lingering cough does sound yucky. She still isn't eating or drinking much. We did get some liquids through her port today and she ate a little more. She had one medication that she took nightly that she just could not keep down. We were able to get that one changed and she took the new medication tonight and it didn't seem to upset her stomach. Stay tuned on Thursday to see what happens...Never a dull moment around here!

Hey Mandy! I love to see Cora wearing that cute outfit of Charlotte's. I remember it had that cute purse to match! While she doesn't look too happy, bless her heart, it looks like the swelling is leaving her face. We pray for your family daily. I don't have my Bible in hand, but I pray you will learn to see that as Paul did, God's grace is sufficient for you. For His strength is made perfect in weakness. Love you! Mary Jane
