Yesterday, she was moved from the hospital in Chicago to an Acute Care Hospital in Mishawaka, IN, so she is much closer to home now, which is better for everyone. She needs more time in the hospital as she is still healing and adjusting to the tracheostomy. She has been doing better with the trache each day. She can now speak a little and has eaten a little bit of food. Otherwise, she is now getting her nutrition through the G-Tube. She will have her next appointment with Medical Oncologist in Chicago next Wednesday and will probably start chemo next Thursday. Please pray that this happens so we can start to fight the tumor growth.
