The past three weeks

A lot has happened in the past three weeks. After we got the word for my drug trial ending in Houston and we got confirmation of the St. Louis trial beginning we decided to take a vacation. I bought tickets for myself, April, and Terah to fly to Miami.  We spent several days wandering around the touristy section of Miami Beach. For a quick note Miami Beach during memorial day is not a child friendly event. It's full of scantily clad, overly muscular, loud music playing young people meandering up and down Ocean Boulevard. Fun to watch but not a family friendly environment.
We had a great time in Miami. We spent one day on the beach, one day on a catamaran boat ride, and one day shopping and doing miscellaneous. Everyone enjoyed themselves.
My return to Arkansas was tainted by not feeling well.  I felt worse each day and by Friday went to the emergency room at Washingtom Regional Medical Center.  They admitted me with pneumonia and have treated me with antibiotics since then.  Someone from Highland Oncology visited with me each day and monitored my progress.  I improved each day and now it's Monday.  I am 90% better but they want me to stay because they see fluid around my right lung.
I was scene by a pulmonogist this morning and he ordered a new CT scan to see how much fluid there is and more precisely where it is.  I have not heard the results from that but April ask the nurse and was told the pulmonogist was consulting with the pulmonary surgeons.
That's all I know about that.
I am still planning on a drive to St Louis on Wednesday and Thursday.  Hopefully none of this interferes with the St Louis trip.
