Update for Monday

Well, the swine flu is spreading like crazy. Our clinicals have been cancelled. We only had two days left... but Wednesday was the day we were supposed to go see the autopsy. But, I think they may reschedule it for the summer. I'm hoping! I have three test Thursday, one test next Monday, and two tests next Wed and then I'm out for three weeks, yay.

Grandma seems to be doing great as of today. All her vitals have been under control. She hasn't been running a fever without Tylenol. Mom said she asked her her hair to be brushed and asked for her glasses. Said she was cutting up with them. She was telling my dad that he was going to lose his job for being there and dad told her not to worry about that.

The oncologist still hasn't been by as of this afternoon. He could come after 5 or so we are hoping. Dr Williams said that he was going to talk to the other doctors about trying to get her in a "step-down" room. It is a step down from ICU. Visitors are allowed around the clock, yay.

Also, mom said her coughing had got better. When I was there they were giving her breathing treatments. Whenever she would cough it was like she couldn't get anything up. But now she is actually getting mucous up when she coughs. So, they have bumped her down to one breathing treatment a day.

She has a long road ahead of her. I hope she is ready to fight...
