It's nearly 10:00 on Wednesday night and we're spending another night here at the hospital. There was a chance we were going to get discharged today, but that's changed now. The MRI report came today and showed tumor growth that is pushing on the left side of her brain. They believe this is what is causing the seizures; however, they cannot resume the chemo treatments until she's finished the treatments for the MRSA. There must have been some confusion between departments because we were told today that because of the MRSA her port must be removed, regardless of whether or not it is currently holding the infection. She's tentatively scheduled for surgery tomorrow to get that taken care of and when it is out we can re-start the 6-week course of antibiotics. I do not know what sort of timeline we're looking at for discharge, so we'll probably be here a few more days.
