Positively Giddy

Mom had her "usual" appointment today. Dr. Dy was beyond giddy. Mom's swelling is almost completely gone. Her blood counts have increased. Her wheezing has decreased significantly and her overall spirit is better. It was awesome to hear the excitment coming from the doctor himself. I am not sure I have seen him smile so much in one sitting before.

He did recommend mom scale the breathing treatments back to twice a day unless her breathing is bad. Then she is supposed to have it four times a day. When mom has too much, she gets shaky afterwards and is prone to falling for a few moments after her treatment is over.

Mom will continue on the Arixtra shots to insure the stent stays in place in the Superior Vena Cava.

She had a great weekend over the holiday. We were hoping for good weather on Saturday so mom could get in the pool but, well, it was crap weather. But there was lots of food, friends, and family. And Fireworks!
