Fionnuala had her MRI yesterday and the news is not good.
Her blood pressure is very high - it was at 207/190 yesterday and down to 160/130 but this is the immediate concern.
They found spots on her basal ganglia, spinal cord and swelling in her cerebellum
They found a possibly cancerous tumor pressing on her right kidney.
Please pray or whatever your practice is, for Siobhan, Jason, Fionnuala and Ceilidh.

Got a brief update from Jason's mom - they did some more testing and discovered that she had a small stroke, but she kicked ass on all the neurological tests so no damage.
Jesus it is hard to be so far away. But she is swarmed with family right now, and Jason's mom is a nurse so she can definitely be more helpful than I can.
One of my MPA cohorties is a mucky-muck at Hole In The Wall Gang camp and he knows all the best doctors all over the country, and he's sending her and Ceilidh some presents.

They don't have an official diagnosis yet, but everything is pointing to some kind of cancer. Siobhan said this is the most terrifying thing she's ever experienced - teams of doctors in full PPE, saying "unfortunately" at the start of their sentences.
I keep thinking about how hard this must be for Ceilidh, who doesn't understand everything that's going on.
