A Different Kind of Cough

Mom's been feeling pretty lousy for a week or two now. Exhausted, though she did come in 2nd with Nehama in a duplicate bridge tournament. Coughing more than she had been, although it seemed to be a different kind of cough.

Today was her CAT Scan. They called her donctor immediately afterward to let him know she had pneumonia! Good news and bad. It certainly explains the different cough and some of the exhaustion. Of course her immune system isn't exactly at the top of its game right now. But let's face it, antibiotics beat chemo anyday of the week.

So this Monday she will go for the PET Scan in the morning and will meet with her doctor in the afternoon. That means she won't have to wait another week for results. Monday afternoon we will know if all the treatments worked.

For those of you that pray, Mom's Hebrew name is Sarah bat Malcha.

Hopefully I'll be posting good news next week.
