[Dailydrool] Update on Debbie

[Kathie Maffitt]

Glad to hear this good news. Praying for Debbie and Kenny is sending Clumber drool!

> Debbie just called and we talked for quite awhile. She had a
> meeting with the surgeon today attended by herself and Wayne and
> Amanda, her daughter. However, details were postponed until late
> Oct  when they will meet again.
>
>
> Debbie says all the news was pretty good! She has gained 3 pounds
> which is fabulous. She saw two doctors today the one who does the
> radiation who is quite pleased with the way things are going. They
> did give her a different pain medication and suggested she take the
> Ativan every day.
>
> They are continuing with the radiation, they believe the tumor is
> shrinking because Debbie is able to eat more than before. She is
> getting fluids on a fairly regular basis to make her feel better.
>
> They were NOT pleased, Amanda, Debbie and Wayne, to wait two hours
> for the surgeon to see them.
>
> The surgeon did tell them that at this point it is difficult to say
> how complicated the surgery will be: whether they will need to use
> part of her colon to resect or not, they are hoping against this
> since it will leave two surgical sites to become infected instead
> of one. (Not to mention being a little harder on the patient.)

> Debbie says Amanda has knocked herself out to take good care of
> her, is cooking for her and Wayne, taking Debbie everywhere and in
> addition seeing how sick her Mother really is, which is very
> difficult.

> Debbie says the DROOL IS WORKING, NOT TO STOP!!

> We all know it will, if we just believe. So keep up the good work,
