Just received the following email from Dave Enman asking me to post this to the Blog.

Sorry I haven't touched base with all of you folks. Things have not been going well for Sonia. Her first post-chemo ct scan was fine. In February or March she started to complain about stomach pains and another ct scan was ordered. This one showed 3 tumors, the largest being 3 inches wide and was impinging on her small bowel. After much consultation and multiple hospital visits, it was determined that nothing could be done. As a consequence she has been placed on palliative care. Of course doctors never commit to "how longs!"

Last Wednesday she got a stomach port installed to relieve nausea and vomiting. I guess it removes excess pressure in the stomach and also will allow for drainage. Her diet will be restricted to clear liquids and soft foods. Doctors have told us many versions of what her diet can be. We'll figure it out.

We have arranged for hospice care and will work to make her remaining days, weeks, or hopefully months as comfortable as possible.

We are hoping that the port and bag will allow her to get around and maybe get some visits to the park.

The important thing is that the Sonia is in good spirits and is ambulatory.

Keep her in your prayers,

Dave
