kimblanchard Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 Hi everybody. I wanted to update you on Becky. We went down for a bronchoscopy in Houston on Friday. Basically we learned that the right lung has collapsed - that from a ct scan a couple of weeks ago - but that it is not the tumor pushing the airway closed. Anyway, on Friday, she did a lot of coughing recovering from the bronch, as expected. Her breathing, which had been getting worse since last Sunday, started getting much worse yesterday and again this morning. So we called the doctor and she went to the emergency room and has since been admitted. Her blood oxygen level was at about 75% when she got into the ambulance. They have her on the highest flow of oxygen they can give her without a ventilator. They did blood work, x-rays, and the like, and it looks like there is some pneumonia, her white cells are high and her hemoglobin low, so they are giving her a transfusion probably tonight. That is what I know. I am headed back to the hospital now. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. I will update from time to time as I get a chance.
