Back to ICU

Trini has spent the last 24 hours in ICU. She had another procedure done on her lungs to reduce fluid build up. She is uncomfortable, but as always willing to do anything to get headed home.

It will take 2 -3 days before we will know if the procedure had the desired results. Likewise, the chemo that was earlier this week will take as long as 10 days to do its stuff. If all goes as scheduled she could have another chemo infusion early next week.

Today is Luke's last day of school. He reports that he has passed 3rd grade and will be moving on to 4th grade in the fall. He seems to be doing well.

Trini has received e-mails from many friends here in Florida as well as friends she hasn't seen since high school days in Burnt Hills. We enjoy reading them and are all encouraged by your thoughts and prayers. Keep them coming and please keep checking the blog for updates.

We've also added a "Subscribe by e-mail" option in the left column. Enter your e-mail address and then click on the link in the confirmation message that you receive. You will then get new posts in your inbox. We've also included a RSS feed for those sophisticated types who prefer to use a news reader (that's what the funny orange icon is).

Hi Trini,
I was glad to hear you were home from the hospital. I know you are a fighter. Luke is the cutiest. I just can't forget all the good times you and Michelle had in school. You are the one that got her interested in soccer. You guys had a ball.I will never forget your laugh and smile. Keep up the good work. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Mrs. DeMatteo
Say HI to all of your family for us.
