So many changes in so little time........ The additional surgery was not required ~ the Drs. retested the port and did retrieve some fluid, so they injected contrast into the reservoir and did another CT scan. The die actually did flow through her spinal fluid correctly, so they determined that another invasive surgery was not necessary. Hurray!! She was released yesterday, with instructions, instructions, instructions! Dee is happy to be home and relatively pain free. She watched T.V. for the first time in months and is sitting in a chair on a regular basis. Her mental status is fabulous and she is controlling any pain with Tylenol every 4 hours. AMAZING!! She still has a long road to travel, she realizes this, but her attitude is great. The confusion still occurs occasionally, but is managed. This will clear as the cancer in her skull recedes. In the meantime, the anxiety is not present and she feels relaxed and joyful that she will be sharing Thanksgiving with her family. Thanks for all of the prayers to get her there!! We have too many blessings to count this Thanksgiving, including each of you. We wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving and pray that you and your families will be blessed in equal measure!
With all our love ~ and hugs,
The Marcottes
