Follow the yellow brick road

What a journey. Sue learned today that her right lung is 1/3 functioning with fluid located at the base of the lung. She also found out she needs to have Thoracentisis tomorrow morning in order to find out if the fluid in her lungs is malignant, infected or both. The procedure takes place in the morning and she will exit surgery with a drainage tube from her right lung. The left lung is perfectly fine and waiting for her to start cycling and hiking again.

The good news is that the blood thinner Lovanox allows her to miss one cycle and get back on without any side effects. She will find out more tomorrow afternoon from her radiologist and continues to have a positive attitude from her hospital bed.

For Sue's students who have continued to write her notes and draw pictures, continue this every day as this gives her hope and inspires her to get back to what she loves most in life......all of you.

Enjoy the journey....Sue sure is
