textualdeviance: (XKCD Complicated)
Fammy still hasn't been interested in solid food, so she went into the hospital for the ultrasound and biopsy this morning. Awaiting results for the latter, but the US showed some worrying stuff, particularly the fact that her kidneys are sort of misshapen and shriveled up. The doc who did the exam says that may be a sign that there's some sort of pervasive cancer or something that caused this whole mess to begin with.

There's still a chance that what's wrong with her is treatable, but at the moment, it's looking like any treatment she may need is going to be invasive (feeding tubes, for instance) and expensive (they said they could keep her for a couple of days and push more fluids/meds/vitamins but it'd cost around $3k.) I'm not sure I want to put her through that unless there's an excellent chance she'll come out of it just peachy.

We'll know more tomorrow, but it's looking like we may have to let her go soon. Truthfully, I'd prefer that if she wants to go, she does so on her own. I don't want her to suffer, of course, but I'm not sure I can do that.

Ended up leaving work early today because I couldn't cope with the idea. What a fucked up thing to have happen when I've just started the job. :(
