Update 1-12-10

A lot has been going on in the last twenty-four hours. Renee went in last night for a CT scan, EKG, echocardiogram and an X-ray to check on her heart. They were concerned with her increased heart rate but she seems to be doing okay. We should know the results soon.

They are draining the fluid from her lung now because the fluid is trapped in there and that is making it impossible to fight off pneumonia. A lot of fluid is coming out so that should make her feel SO much better.

They want to let her rest today before deciding on if they are going to do another surgery tomorrow to repair or replace the stent. They are talking about doing radiation today but that has yet to be confirmed. It is a new radiation treatment that she has not done yet and it is a much greater strength. They really can't do anything till they get the fluid out of her lung so she can get rid of the pneumonia.

We will hopefully know later today if they are doing surgery to repair the stent tomorrow. I will post as soon as I have an update.

She is still coing out of being sedated so she is not ready for visitors but she appreciates texts and voice mails. Thank you again for all of your continued support. BELIEVE
