We are on our way to the hospital now to visit. The PET scan has been cancelled for today, because as I mentioned before, you can't get one as an inpatient. Thank you insurance company for your complication of this matter!! Because of the delay with the PET, Dr. Kovalic had a CT done on her abdominal area yesterday. We are awaiting those results. Also, we have begun looking into a hospital to hospital transfer to MDA. Hopefully, that is a possibility. That is pretty much what I know at this point. Will hopefully post more later today. Thank you for your continued prayers and overwhelming support.
Happy Birthday Josie!

Waiting Game
I have been away from an internet connection for a couple of days. Sorry for the delay in getting out details. One thing I want to clarify from a previous post is the word "pneumo." I used that term because it is the term the doctors use for what is going on with Mama's lung. It is short for pneumothorax which is a medical condition wherein air or gas is present in the pleural cavity. Essentially, a collapsed lung. I say all of that to say that I did not mean pneumonia. Some of you doctors reading this can comment and explain it to us further and in better terms. Thanks.

Thanks for the update Amy. I had talked to your Mom last night for a few minutes. You are doing such a good job taking care of her and keeping everyone updated! She is so proud of you and also for you and Phillip cleaning up the house! We are praying for her and all of you and she is on the prayer list of everyone I could think of to put her on. I know what you mean about insurance - isn't it ridiculous that she has to be discharged before she can get a PET scan and also get her records sent on to Texas?
