The doctor has her on an appetite stimulant as well as prednisone and both seem to be working well on increasing her appetite. The only problem now is that the food is just sitting on her stomach and not really going anywhere. They realized this the other day when they did the radioactive eggs test. Mom said that she thought she was glowing that night after eating them things (kidding of course lol).
We are hoping to have her home by Thanksgiving. Dr. Madden says that they wont keep her in the hospital for the second round of chemo as long as she is able to eat. Keep your fingers crossed that the scope that she gets today goes well and we can pinpoint what the problem is (and of course that it is an easy fix).
Here is a pic of us from last night! Doesn't she look great?!
