Mom (Gretchen) and Dad (Ted) will be driving to Santa Rosa Tuesday to spend the night before her lung biopsy Wednesday  at 10:30 a.m.  She will likely be in recovery 4 hours and will spend Wednesday night in Santa Rosa, driving back up the coast on Thursday.

Mom is very fatigued, in pain and having labored breathing.  For you medical types, she is using her accessory muscles of respiration with any activity, even going from supine in bed to semi-recumbent in bed is very strenuous.

Prayers, positive vibes are welcome.  Mom really appreciates everyone’s care and support.

Mom and Dad still do not want visitors at this time.  Mom can’t speak on the phone, so phone calls to her are verboten.  Dad is working hard to keep Mom comfy as can be and he is very tired.  We are all very tired.

Wednesday’s the biopsy day….

Peace
