Struggles with shortness of breath

Hi everyone:

Patty has been struggling with shortness of breath over the past couple of days. For some reason, I always find this to be the most unsettling symptom of her heart failure. Her doctors have again increased Patty's dosage of milrinone, which they hope will increase her heart's efficiency and help ease her breathing. Unfortunately, the increases will likely also translate into more headaches, which Patty is regarding now as the lesser of two evils.

Patty's home health nurse drew blood today, which will be tested to see if Patty's antibodies are responding to chemotherapy...please keep your fingers crossed. Patty is thrilled that her nurse Mariska was able to draw blood from her PICC line, saving Patty from at least one stick.

Our family is meeting with Patty's Aunt MaryAnn and her cousin Mary for lunch today. It's so nice to have so many visitors -- I think it boosts Patty's spirits. We had a wonderful dinner with Patty's brother Mike, his wife MaryKate and three of their five kids two nights ago. Their daughter Emma is such a beautiful, fun baby.

As noted, this is Emma...a beautiful, fun baby (sorry the pic is a little blurry)



And this is Patty, a beautiful, fun babe -- checking blog comments



More soon...

Love,
Brian
