Back to the Hospital - Treatments :(

Tiffany is in the hospital. She had started a new type of chemotherapy, an experimental trial, and her body reacted badly to it after a few days. So she has been in the hospital for a couple of weeks now. The new medicine was really irritating to Tiffany's body, even her skin was super dry and itchy. Her hair was starting to fall out, so her mom shaved it all off rather than watching it float away day by day!

The doctors are testing Tiffany now to see if there is anything else going on, like fluid in her lungs, or anything pushing on her lungs. Her throat was really irritated from the medicine, and now breathing is uncomfortable if she's not positioned upright (in the hospital bed, she's inclined so she can sleep easier). We'll keep you updated with how she's doing, but for now keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

I miss you Tiffany, but I know you're in a better place than here. I wish I was able to see you the last time I was in California. I regret saying that I wasn't able to <3
