Friday 2/27/09
Yesterday was long and hard, but today has been a very good day -
As most of you know, Chris's surgery was mostly successful,
although we have a very long road ahead of us before we know if this
has worked or not. Two more weeks of recovery before we can even try
radiation.
Since there was nowhere suitable to sleep (not even a big enough piece of floor), I ended up going home for the night.
Before coming up to the hospital today to see Chris, I had a dr.'s
appt this morning for a baseline ultrasound in preparation for our FET
cycle. The doc says "so far so good, everything looks great."
I am starting injections this Sunday with a follow up appt and saline sonohistogram scheduled for the 13th of next month!!!!
As long as we stay on target our transfer is tentatively scheduled for the 20th of March.
It's getting so close it's almost here.
"Please Lord, let us get this right this time........."
Back to Chris......
When I got to the hospital this afternoon,Chris looked amazing. He
was wide awake and seemed to be feeling pretty good with the exception,
that the incisions made during his surgery were a little painful still,
but they are trying to keep him as comfortable as possible.
The positive side- is that it seems with the removal of the tumors
there has been a lot of pressure released off of his brain and he has
also experienced other positive effects such as decreased nausea and
increased appetite.
We have been waiting most of the day to be transferred to a
regular room so I hope that will happen over the next few hours, it
will be nice to once again have a little privacy and quiet where he and
I can relax and focus on getting him better.
As I sit here in the ICU waiting room, I think I hear him being
wheeled my way so hopefully they are finally taking him for the MRI
needed to move him to his own room.
More to come.....
