Hi,
Brian & Paul found Leenie a bit restless but very surprised & excited to see them. Unfortunately, she was having pain (which was apparent) but it was 6 pm & she'd not asked for pain meds since the morning. Shortly after getting medicated, she was relaxed and joking about beating the patch system by sneaking out & smoking without it.
Obviously, the pain meds must be given regularly & not on demand. Otherwise, chatter remained "newsy/breezy"; she loves her docs; saw Gordon Ryan for a long admit visit late Monday (they were talking about putting a tube in her intestine for food feeding when she comes home); Dr. Cross stressed wt. gain & builiding strength for chemo. All in all she seemed to be focusing on getting well enough to be treated as an out-patient.
When it was obvious she was getting tired they left BUT, throughout the visit she slurped down 1/2 of a giant chocolate DQ shake!
"Of human bandage" arrived home clueless in Virginia Beach but ver enthusiastic about Leenie's admission. He says it's a huge positive step forward & will see her after work today. There's a cute Obama throw blanket in the gift shop that he has his eye on for her. . .
Off to my appt,
Lorane

Dear Lorane,
You are an angel, bringing good tidings including photos. Eileen is in good hands and will do what the doctors at the hospotal ask her (we better watch the patch though she is a clever, ingenious, lovely lady who has goals).
Eileen, please know that you are being watched from near and far. Keep building up your strength. It sounds like you will have to give our dear brother a tutorial on how to use the cell phone. God bless you and all who walk this journey with you.
Love and prayers,
Kath and family
