Sister Sue update

I haven't posted about Sue in quite some time. But last night she went back into the hospital in Arkansas. She's really been having a problem with nausea, and when you are trying to add weight to a 70-75 pound frame, nausea's not a good thing.

Hopefully they can get this under control and her hospital stay will be short and sweet. Her husband Sammy is a mess right now, understandably so. Don't know how Sue would have gotten through any of this if he hadn't been by her side. "Soul mates" is what they always call each other.

In any case, this is probably not a good sign. More to come as I know it...

UPDATE: Sue got some sleep over night, but is in a very agitated state. Doctors are going to put a port in her chest so she won't have to take a bunch of pills, and they also inserted a catheter after she fell and injured a hip last night. Luckily she wasn't hurt badly in the fall. But at this point, the less movement the better.

And I'm glad they are putting a port in. All those pills on an empty stomach may have been one pretty good reason why she was fighting so much nausea. At least in theory.

Hopefully we'll have another update later today ...
