Mom survived the day of testing. She started by drinking the barium solution; then over a three or four hour period, several x-rays were taken. They wanted to watch the path the solution took from her mouth all the way down into her bowels. This way they could find any problem areas where things might be getting stuck. As far as we know, everything looked like it was working properly. There is still some swelling in the stomach which keeps some of the fluids from draining all the way. The doctor did another scope and used a small balloon to stretch things out again. We're hoping this will do the trick. This morning, Dr Ott said mom may be able to go home as soon as tomorrow or Wednesday. We'll see what the reports say tomorrow.
She is in good spirits and seems to have her energy back. She is walking laps around the 10th floor and even doing a little dancing along the way. :)

Karen, You are amazing! I know Heavenly Father is watching over you, and answering your righteous desires. Keep loving you Savior, yourself and your body--and don't try to get there all in one day. :) Patience is a virtue most of us are developing--I think it takes a lifetime!
You are loved!
with aloha,
Rosemarie
