First, thank you to everyone for asking and hoping for a speedy recovery for Tonya. Your well wishes do mean a lot to us. The next paragraph gets a little gross, but this is the fastest way to update everyone.
Tonya was admitted to the hospital on Sunday and will be there for another day, maybe two - we are unsure at this moment. We had to go back because we could not control her cough and fever, and her jaundice was making her 'glow'. Once we got to the ER (during the third quarter of the Miami blowout), they took her back and said - 'you're not going anywhere'. Blood tests showed that what was high before was much higher now. Yesterdays CAT scan showed a very large liver (swollen beyond her rib cage), a gallbladder that is compressed, and a spleen like a water balloon. It is these organs that are pushing up against her diaphragm, which is making her short of breath, which is not causing her lungs to expand fully, so fluid is gathering in the bottom (but not pneumonia yet). So, she is a mess right now. She will be out of work for quite a while, and unfortunately has to avoid close facial contact with Lucy for even longer.
I finally came home tonight, (only been here for 2 hours since Sunday) - and seeing Lucy made my week. Her reaction to seeing me is always better than anticipated. Never really thought I would get mushy for a little kiddo, but she kills me. She gives the best, tightest hugs in appreciation - ask anyone who has received one. Jeremy and Tracy, you will get your chance soon, we promise.
Cannot say it enough, thanks for all the nice comments and kind words, I pass these along to Tonya and she really appreciates the concern. We will get her back on track soon.

Thanks for keeping us posted, a task thats probably the furthest from your list of priorities right now, but we appreciate the updates however we can get them. The girls & I are so, so sorry Tonya is so sick and probably feeling worse because its keeping her from the people she loves. But she will get better and we'll all be here to help her on her road to recovery, however long it takes. Count on us, too, to take care of the LucyGoose whenever you need, no advance notice required! We love all 3 of you a ton.
because you really needed to have your organs blow up like balloons- dang it. praying that they all deflate back to their original size-- no funny animal shaped livers-- you hear!! (trying desperately to make you laugh under poor circumstances-- hope i succeed, unless laughing hurts- then i apologize profusely!) hang in there tonya!!!!
Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you tonya or lucy. We hope she is home very soon.
Tracy and Jeremy
