Back in the Hospital

What a day...It's just past midnight and I just got home. Natalia had an MRI today...the results were>>>good, the tumor has stayed the same. No shrinking but no growth either. However, the incisions she had for both her shunt (on her tummy) and her port-a-cath have become infected. So it was decided the best thing to do was admit her to the hospital to give her antibiotics and see what can be done for delicate skin. It is the steriods she has been taking for so long that have caused this to happen. Even the area of her tummy shunt incision that had been closing is now back opened. They are doing all kinds of tests to make sure the infection did not spread anywhere else in her body. We made the decision that since we weren't prepared for this to happen that I would head home to be with Sophia and Edgar would stay with Natalia. We are going to see if we can rent a car and have it dropped off at the hospital on Thursday so they can get home without me driving back up there to get them. Now it is off to bed because I know think that I have wound down enough to pass out.

Much love to you all,
Roni
