Today, we put mom back in the hospital because the oral meds weren't working very well for the pain and also, it's becoming harder and harder for her to swallow. On top of all that, she was getting sick from the pain meds she was taking and that was also reason to get her back on an IV.
Pat took her to the emergency room around 3:00pm or so and she finally got a room around 7:00pm - room 444. They were able to get her IV in and get some fluids in her as well as some pain medicine. Hopefully, that will do the trick.
Dr. Steuer has decided to begin the radiation treatment tomorrow, since mom's incision from the brain biopsy is healing very nicely. In fact, she was cleared to carefully wash her hair, which she is very happy about, since she has not been able to wash it for about a week now.
Still no word on the pathology tests. I'm assuming they are having more people look at the sample to try and determine what it is we have here. But regardless, what's important is that the radiation starts tomorrow and we're on the road to recovery from their on in.
If you have any questions, feel free to click on the "comments" link below and ask me. I check this several times a day and can get back to you relatively quickly. Continue your prayers for her. She needs them. Thanks again.

Thanks, Lee. I'll print out the message and read it to her later today. :)
Mom isnt going through with the radiation today so visitors are fine. She's in room 444 @ Northside and will be home after tomorrow (with my grandparents, that is).
Rita - I'll ask my grandfather about that! Thanks
