Friday Night Update

George has now been here at UCLA for a week. Dr. W along with the Palliative care team have been successful in getting George's pain under control. He continues to have fluid issues with swollen leg & feet. Today he received another blood transfusion, and medication to help shift some of his fluid. He has been tired, and frequently falls asleep during visits. He took a slow walk down the hall to help increase his lung expansion, get his legs moving.
We have had many decisions to make regarding his care, with our main goal being his comfort. It is apparent to the Doctors, and us that the growth of the tumor has increased. It is felt that his care will be focused on comfort when he is discharged Saturday.
