The timing of my message was significant. She ended up getting an obstruction yesterday and is now in the hospital.
Dr's don't want to do surgery because of the peri mets, so I really really hope this blockage works itself out!

She is still on TPN but it has been reduced a bit since she is over her target weight. She is taking pain meds for pain from the surgery, and dealing with a lot of fatigue. In the past week she has started feeling bloated.
