Karen's doing well. She's in the hospital at Robert Wood Johnson getting a scheduled procedure done currently and I'm headed there soon. She asked to update the blog so here goes.
Today is step one in her radiation treatment. There are two steps. Today (now) Doctor Nosher at Robert Wood Johnson is blocking off certain pathways within her liver's blood stream. This will allow the radiation treatment (scheduled for next Tuesday 26th) to flow to the tumor within her liver.
She left early this morning and is expected home this evening. I got the kids off to school, ran a few errands and am headed there now.
UPDATE: karen's done and all went fine, she has to lay flat on her back for the next 6hours or so. Will be home tonight.

Hey Fran and Karen,

Keeping Maggie still for the many, many hours after her portal vein embolization was the hardest part of the whole procedure.... for both of us.
TV, books on tape, talking with friends... all these helped.
Good luck and my thoughts will be with you.
Dear Karen,
Glad to hear everything went well. We will keep thinking and praying for you.
Lots of LOVE,
Lena and Victor
