The Latest and Greatest

Alison had a rough day today.
She started out with a shower (which is cumbersome as she is), a CT scan to mark the spots to radiate more precisely, then had the stent placed. The kidney stent placement was unsuccesful; they didn't have one long enough or thin enough. So now she's got two catheters, one to dialate the tube leading to the kidney, and one to drain waste since it would be difficult to go with a tube down there. It's rather uncomfortable for her.
And then, as if she wasn't drained enough, she had another Ambulance ride to the radiation/cancer center for some more radiation therapy. Her mom has stayed by her side the entire time.
I, on the other hand, was trying to get the new house ready for her. The movers come Wednesday, so Ali and I picked out paint colors for nearly every room on the top floor last night. Her nephew came today to help. Great to have him. Paint is expensive. But worth it.
We'll keep you posted.
