ekarl2 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 My mom is Robin Finley, the author of Analytical Grammar. Many of you know that she has been fighting stage four sarcoma (cancer) for 1.5 years now. Her new chemo is working; the tumors have become smaller. Unfortunately, the chemo has left her immuno-compromised. She has been admitted into the hospital with typical, bi-lateral pneumonia. They're still trying to find the right drug to kill off whatever virus/bacteria/fungus is causing it. Please keep her in your prayers and also hold the docs in prayer that they'll be able to dose her with the right drug to cure this lung infection. She's totally coherent and talking, but needs an oxygen mask to get her breath. She's been at the hospital since last night and hasn't worsened, which is good. Thanks for the prayers ...

TravelingChris Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I will be praying. I was on an immusuppresant (not for cancer) and got a nasty antibiotic resistant cellulitis. It took a few tense days, but the doctors figured out which antibiotic combo would work and it did work. I hope everything goes equally well for your mother.

ekarl2 Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 I'm so sorry I haven't updated everyone. Mom is still in the hospital. She had a bronchoscopy yesterday (camera into her lungs). She's feeling a little better each day. They've pretty much ruled out lymphatic spread of the cancer (thank the Lord!) and are thinking it's either a reaction to her chemo or a weird virus. Thank you all for your prayers; we can't tell you how much it means to us! They expect her to remain at Rex at least through the weekend.
