It's Corey again.  Here's the latest...

Mom had a paracentesis (draining procedure) again today.  After giving up about 3 Big Gulps worth, we went to see Mom's oncologist.

Dr. Mellott said that Mom's liver was failing.  At this point, we do not know whether Mom can "bounce back."  Mom will be admitted to the hospital fairly soon (we were waiting for a room to come open as this e-mail is being composed -- update: Mom was admitted to Northwestern, Feinberg Pavillion).

Please keep Mom in your prayers.

Faithfully,

Corey
