Back to the ER

Marion, myself, and my Dad went to the ER again because Marion was bleeding. It wasn't really heavy, but since last time she needed two units, we didn't want to take the risk again. Her hemoglobin count was fine, so she was discharged and everything is okay for the time being.

It's stressful and heart aching at this stage because we're unsure of the stage and treatment plans. Once treatments are started, we're told that the bleeding will cease. Hopefully, that's the case. Marion's doing well and resting currently.

She has the staging procedure tomorrow---and with that all completed we'll know more than what we do now. There's still a lot of procedural work to be done like filing for disability, getting transportation situated, and all that sort of stuff. At least the Medicaid is all set up, and getting her into Cooper Hospital's system was a fairly straightforward process.

I'm still hopeful that she's a lower advanced stage (I think IIB from what I can figure), but as I stated, we'll know more tomorrow. Hope is all I can hold onto at this point.
