update

I was just talking to Mario and he said that Carole had some transfusions last night and was very tired. They are now thinking that the blood is coming from tumors that are rupturing and the only way to know for sure is to be doing a CT scan at the exact moment when the rupture occurs. On a more positive note, her original liver transplant surgeon became involved again today and has made a suggestion that if nothing else, has given Carole some hope. He is proposing to give her a med in the iv that is used in transplant surgery that basically is intended to seal the tumors and help to lessen or maybe even stop the tumors from rupturing and therefore stop her internal bleeding and need for blood transfusions. I don't know if it will work or for how long and to what extent but Mario said that just the suggestion made Carole perk up a bit in the hopes that she can get home for the holidays for some bit of time.
