Dad came home from the hospital today.

The stress test revealed blockages. We talked to the RO about putting the PEG tube in. The gastro group doesn't want to do anything about the PEG until the heart is fixed for fear of causing heart problems. Mom doesn't want a doctor in training performing a catherization (do you blame her?). We are waiting for a consult with his regular cardiologist to see what he thinks. I'm guessing at this point that the regular cardio doc will the cath.

The RO says that he wont do radiation twice a day until the first of the year. At that time M&D have been told that they can stay at the hospital hospitality house to cut down on the back and forth twice a day. That's a relief when we consider that bad weather is coming soon.

Still no information as to whether they will do chemo now.

Radiation still takes place daily.

I'm exhausted. Emotions are on the edge. Had a major meltdown after my post last night. I think it did me good to let it all out.

Thanks to everyone for your thoughts, prayers and replies. It just helps knowing I/we arent in this alone.

Hugs,

Joy
