Visit by Denny, Thursday A.M. 3/29

I dropped by this morning, just after 8 a.m., to see how the night went for Vava and for Val, who spent the night in the hospital, to give Marty and Ki a break (Everything went fine). Vava was pretty awake & very chipper. She was able to get out of the ward last night, via wheelchair, and meet with a lot of her friends, which was great. Unfortunately, the ward is STILL quarantined, which makes it pretty iffy for visiting (you can do it if you get lucky -- sometimes the staff doesn't seem to care or notice -- but since there really are good reasons for the quarantine, I wouldn't advise it).

But there was NO NEWS YET from the biopsy. I had hoped to relay some to everyone. I probably won't be able to get back there later today -- but maybe someone else will be able to find out, and put something up here on the site. She's still coughing like a two-pack-a-day mine worker, but that will probably be the case until they start the treatment and get this chest mass to shrink. There will also be chest xrays taken later today which will say something about any changes.

Anyway -- I AM happy to report that Vava's breathing seems really good this morning. When I left she was out of bed and sitting in the chair.
