The Singing Patient!

After being away for five minutes, when I came down the hall toward Shelley's room at supper time, I could hear her wonderful voice singing grace. I think that the butter on her tray was the motivation of this spontaneous outburst, for when she spied it on her tray she saw within it great hope of making her potatoes more palatable. Yes, she is now back to "real" food (however "real" hospital food can be) without the accompanying nausea. She has also parted ways with her I.V. pole.

Shelley's well-being continues to climb upwards. Today she was 5.5/10! She still awaits Cardiology's assessment re: drugs, interactions, Chemo and WPW, while Oncology and Palliative care teams "wait and see" how the withdrawal of one drug and the re-introduction of food impact her system.

All in all, a pretty good day!
