As of this afternoon, 01/11/2008, Mom has had many scans, a bronchoscopy, biopsy, and stress test. So far, all of the scans and the biopsy of her lung have come back negative, Praise the LORD! However, this means they would like to do a more invasive test on her lungs but her stress test was not good. The next step is to do a heart cath, on Monday, this will result in her kidneys failing meaning she will have to start dialysis also. After the heart is satisfactory, they want to do the invasive biopsy on the mass in her lung. Although we have had quite a journey this week, there is still more to come and therefore we need continued prayer. I will update on Monday after the heart cath with our next step.
Thanks for everyones prayer and support!

As of this morning, 01/14/2008, Mom is being transferred to University Hospital in Cincinnati to have a stint put in tomorrow. The heart cath indicates that her main artery has blockages. Further testing of the lung is now on hold for at least a month and we are waiting to find out about dialysis. Just keep her and us in your prayers.
