Aunt Vera Update

My thanks to all of you who have been in prayer for my Aunt Vera.  She came home from the hospital on Thursday & is feeling good.  The fluid retention was controlled with intravenous Lasix & then the same med in pill form which she will continue to take indefinitely.  She was also found to have a leaky heart valve or two, & whatever medication they are giving her for that problem is likewise working well.  She is in good spirits.  She goes to her oncologist's office for another dose of chemo in 2 weeks, & then at the end of October she will see him for an appointment & is hoping that he will say "no need for any more chemo."  I am hoping the same.

Great news all around! Our Aunt Mabel has several leaky heart valves, and she is 91. She says they won't operate, but I wonder if they can prescribe the same medicine for her? She could use a little more energy IN her veins instead of leaking out! Gonna check on that. Hugs!
