Not sure when we are going home

Emily is still feeling pretty well. She has been busy concentrating on art projects all day. She has not had a fever and they stopped the IV antibiotics. That's all great news. Her pulse is still very high and they just can't figure out why, so tomorrow she is going to have an Eccocardiogram and the EKG, just to make sure there is nothing wrong with her heart. She had to do an Ecco as a baseline before reinduction because one of her medications has a cardiac risk. They will have a baseline to compare with, we are worried that maybe the drug had an effect on her heart.

She had her chest x-ray today, and after all the worry, it turns out that her existing mass that we have known about is actually smaller. What happened was the ER docs were alarmed because they saw a mass. We warned them they were going to but they still raised alarm. It wasn't until today that Emily was able to stand up and take a deep breath and get an x-ray that was comparible to the previous x-rays. Everytime they have looked at the mass it has been smaller and smaller. It doesn't appear to be growing and their best guess is it is dead scar tissue from her tumors.

I don't know if or at what time we will get out tomorrow. If they want to do those heart tests, we probably will stay in patient until they are done, or they may release us to out patient to hang out and wait for the tests. I'd rahter keep the bed.

We no longer have a private room. We are in a room we have been in 3 times and out room mate we've had before.
