This is Adina updating the blog on behalf of Deb, Will, Nadine and Grant.

Deb was admitted to the Hospital at the University of Pennsylvania on Saturday. The CT scan indicates that she has a partial blockage in her colon due to the fact that the tumor in her colon has grown again. She may also have some swelling and inflammation. The CT scan also indicates three new tumors on her liver.

Deb is currently ingesting a variety of forms of laxatives to help empty her colon which is currently impacted. So far, she is having little success. Her GI surgeon is in New Orleans until Thursday and we are awaiting his return so he can perform a non-invasive procedure to expand the opening in her colon and place a stint in there to keep it open. She is in varying amounts of pain and is getting regular pain medications to keep her as comfortable as possible. We must all pray that her body remains strong until the doctor arrives on Thursday and can perform the procedure on either Thursday or Friday.

Deb is not up for many visitors, though she is very grateful for all the kind prayers and well wishes that are coming her way. Since she rests at varying times during the day, it is safest to text before calling or to see if she is up for a visit. I will continue to post with updates.
