Fred is pretty much dead!

Jami is in Huntsman today, but it's good news this time. Let me start by saying that Jami is as feisty as ever. She was running a temp and there was blood coming out of her drain. We called down to the Huntsman and they said to bring her down to the ER at the U and they would get her admitted. Jami was NOT happy about sitting in the ER and so she talked to the PA (yup...took the phone and let her have it) and said that she would not come down if she had to sit in the ER. The ER doesn't know what is going on and if that was how it was going to be then she just wouldn't come. The PA said she'd have to check and get back to them. Sure enough an hour later the PA called back and said come down to the 5th floor of the Huntsman.

Last night they did a CT and the tumor has shrunk by 90%!!! Yay!!! The Doctors seem pretty excited and we're elated! They are going to run a few tests and see why she has some swelling and check for blood clots in her legs, but the tumor should not be causing any of the other side effects we're seeing. They are wondering if the reason her bowel hasn't started up is because of all of the narcotics. As soon as we get a copy of the comparison I'll post it.
