At about 1:15p today (Monday, June the 2nd) Connie started having pretty severe pain around her left shoulder and difficulty breathing. Brought her to the ER here in Ashtabula.
She had blood work taken and the ER doctor ordered a chest X-ray (which was done in the room) and she got a CT scan of her chest.
Her breathing improved with oxygen, but pain is still an issue.
After a couple of hours we got doctor talk. Cancer has created small hole in left lung and it basically was leaking. Going to keep her overnight (at least) for observation to see if it heals. Normal healthy lungs would heal itself as the hole is small. Because that's not the case is the reason for being vigilant.
Will use the blog to keep everyone updated. Thanks for your prayers.
Thoughts and prayers, much love to both as well. <3
