Liver Biopsy

Mom went in for the liver biopsy this morning.  I stayed until she was done with the procedure.  She needs to spend 3 hours laying on her back before they will release her.  She should be released later this afternoon. She usually is very nauseous with anesthesia.  They gave her a double dose of some medicine to help and it actually worked.  We will be making sure that they do that the next time.  This is the first time that I can remember that she didn't vomit.  When they let Dad and I see her after the procedure, her color was good and she felt fine.  She indicated that the procedure was a lot less painful than she had expected.  Dad was of course sitting with her until they release her.  We will have the results next week.
Thanks for all of the prayers and kind words.  Mom's spirit is wonderful.  She is a fighter and has maintained a great attitude.

  1. What a great attitude! She always makes things sound easy. Our older one graduates from high school in May. I will go to GA from Boston during end of May. I remember that you have visited us almost every year since my first visit to Baroda in 1993 summer with Phyllis! We are thinking about you. Best Wishes!
