From Mr. Kayak,

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1753772/posts?page=529#529

We admitted Kay to the hospital again this afternoon so they can give her heavier doses of steroids to reduce the swelling in her brain associated with the excision of the tumor.

Kay has been experiencing lost motion on a gradually increasing scale since Tuesday and today we awoke to discover she has only about 10% use of her left arm. Therefore we went to the neurosurgeon for another CT scan and they confirmed swelling that was not being controlled by the lower doses of steroids she was already on.

The expectation is that she will be in the hospital through most of Sunday. We'll see.

Words are such meager tools for expressing the gratitude we feel for our friends and families as they reach out to and offer prayer for Kay and me. Again, Thank you.

Thanks, Knitting. I was about to track down that thread to see if we'd gotten any recent word on how Kay was doing.

Prayers heading her way. :-)
