Margie was doing well and looking forward to being back in the valley next week. However, she hit a snag. Her blood pressure dropped and they found a hematoma (sp?) at her surgery site. They did a CT scan and didn't find bleeding in or around the kidney. They had to give her two units of blood and an agent to help the bleeding stop. As of this afternoon, her blood pressure stablized and she was feeling somewhat better. They hope that they do not have to do surgery to stop the bleeding.
Once again we ask for your continued prayers. God Bless you Margie - Love you!
This blog is set up to keep friends and family informed on the progress my mother is making in her fight against kidney cancer. Feel free to comment so Margie can see how many people are pulling for her to get through this!

Looking Forward
Hi Friends!
Margie is doing somewhat better. Her hemoglobin in down, the salt in her blood is low, but her sugar is good. They are hoping to get her chest tube out today. Once that is out and her blood reports are stable, she will be heading back to the valley.
Margie is in good spirits, but is still very tired. I would suggest that the best way to communicate to her is on facebook. She is able to view it and read it, but isn't always up to commenting on it. She is enjoying her cards.
I will try to keep you updated daily. Thanks a million times for the prayers!

Rough Day :(
Margie had a very uncomfortable day and her sugar was low. She isn't very hungry and that messes up her sugar. Keep praying for her. She is in room 969 at Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown. I'll post the address tomorrow if anyone wants to drop her a card.

Out of ICU!
Margie has moved from the ICU to a stepdown unit. I will let you know her address tomorrow after I see her. Her room number 973 at Ruby Memorial Hospital, I just don't know the street address.
She is doing well from the surgery, but now has a small tear in her trachea (sp?). They are treating it with medicine, but may need to do surgery to correct it. This is causing her problems with her breathing.
Please continue to pray for her recovery and well being.
