Hi all- sorry that i have not updated the blog in a while. Things are going well mom. She is still in Maine Medical but are hoping to get out of here soon and go to rehab. She is moving more and walking around more. She has now walked to the other nurses station and back which is a huge accomplishment. She is continuing to meet with PT and OT to work on daily activities. She is also eating better, which is a plus. She even had a baked potato today for dinner. 

    She is still here at maine med because for some reason they can not control her potassium levels, they keep dropping. She is getting potassium through IV and Pill form. When she takes the pills she sometimes becomes nauseous that is why they are supplementing with IV. The reason her potassium is dropping is because of her kidneys. Her kidneys are not holding on to the potassium but the doctor said that it will take time and her kidneys will correct themselves. There was some question about dialysis but the doctor said NO WAY. THERE IS NO NEED FOR HER TO HAVE DIALYSIS!!!

    OTher than that she is doing well. Once her potassium is corrected she will go to rehab. The next possible date for chemo is on June 14 or 15. But that is possibility if everything goes well.

Well, i think that is all, until i know more...

love jess
