This blog used to be called "Maura vs.Toby"."Toby" was a four-pound Unclassified Sarcoma that surgeons removed from Maura's abdomen in April, 2008. She died on May 19, 2009. Toby's evil spawn may have killed her body, but Maura lives on. The tumors, on the other hand, were incinerated. They are gone. And she is in pain no more.

Blood
Since the hurricane, we haven't had internet/cable, so I can't update as often as I might like. Today we've been at the hospital since this morning. Low blood counts meant weekend bloodwork. Hemoglobin of 6.4 (roughly half the normal level for a woman, and the lowest she's ever had)meant transfusion of red blood cells today. Mmm, yum. It takes about five or six hours for the transfusion, once we get in a room. Still, even with such low blood counts, she is in good spirits, but very tired.
