She hadn't felt really great for the past few weeks. She thought it might be related to her back, and she had an MRI but nothing was discovered, that was about four weeks ago.
On last wed., she hadn't been able to keep anything down so she went into the clinic. She was given IV fluids to try and get her hydrated and feeling better. As the time approached to go home she got a really bad headache, so they kept her to try and get control of the pain. For the next few days, she would get a headache and then feel start to feel better and then as she was going to get released then as she get that headache back. This was a miracle as it kept them looking for a cause for the headaches. Chest x-rays, ultra sounds, MRI, tests, cat-scans, everything until Monday afternoon when they did a cat-scan with a a color dye and they found the tumors in her lungs, on the liver, ribs and scapula . A stomach scan and a colonoscopy were done on Wednesday in Monticello and they were clean and then we have made the trip to Huntsman. The night that the diagnosis the headaches ended so we know they were there to have them keep looking for the deeper cause.
Ryan, thankyou for posting the blog and keeping us informed. Aunt Kim called me yesterday with the news and I was mortified to hear it. Merilee is in my prayers and I hope her conditions improve. Thankyou for the address to mail to and be sure to update it if she changes locations. I hope you get something in the mail from me next week.
