So we are on now night #5 of hanging out at Spectrum. Val continues to be an “interesting case”. Back in 2003 when we had our last medical experience with Val and it dragged on, one of her doctors said she was an interesting case and that you don’t want a doc to use that description of you.
Well she continues to be am interesting case with this cancer. Her fever is down and has stayed down since Sunday. On Sunday afternoon we noticed the skin around one of her expanders was warm and red. This pursisted and got worse.
They did an ultrasound and found some fluid on the expander. It took yesterday to get the medical team all up to speed and a consensus of what to do next.
So this morning they went in and put a new drain at that site and got some jiffy looking fluid. That fluid now is being tested to see if it grows anything. At this point we are expecting it to grow something.
Tonight her main doc gave us the challenging news that she is not going to be going home anytime soon. They need to come up with a treatment plan and this also will delay the next chemo treatment that was supposed to be this Friday.
To put it mildly, we are both discouraged. We are not sure what or how to pray. Thank you for praying for us when we don’t know how.

So sorry to hear the latest report, Marc and Val. We’ll be praying for a less-than-interesting case going forward. In fact, boring. Boring is good. I’m praying for “boring!” Love you guys!

I’m praying for you guys and that medically this will be a boring day! 🙂 I’m praying for your kids too as they finish up school this week – that they can focus with Sam’s exams and that they can have fun and not be anxious.
