Lola is in St. David’s Northwest Hospital, Ph# 901-1000, rm 216.

She has been there since last Wed. and will be there next week also. She has an infection and is very weak. She has a pocket of pus, they inserted a drainage hose to get rid of the pus and will do a biopsy to see if it is cancer or not.  Hopefully Monday she will know if it is. They are not going to give Lola anymore Chemo, her body can’t take anymore.

Please keep her in your prayers.
