Went back to UNC Tuesday. Blood counts are coming up!
Today we got the aphoresis catheter removed. What I thought was going to be a little more detailed, was actually a 5 minute gig. Took it out in the little cubby in the hospital. I thought they were going to wheel him to the Operating room, but nope, snipped it out right there. no, i didn't look. would have been at UNC for a different reason if i had.
He goes to his referring oncologist, Dr. Wehbie on the 18th or 19th and then returns to UNC on Dec. 16 for re-staging. This will tell us if he is in full remission!
Christmas should be great this year if all goes well!
Thanks everyone for the continued prayers and support! Keith continues to do well, but he gets very tired very quickly, but that is normal. Just have to be patient. We will explore how to fix his back fractures as soon as we get his reports back and get the ok!
I'll be so glad when they can fix his back. Benjamin said today he wants to do stuff with his Daddy "when his back gets fixed". Funny, he's never mentioned that before.
ReplyDeleteThat's good news, Renee. Thanks for the update. I wish I knew when we'll be finished with my port, but it's status is "indefinite."
ReplyDeleteIs Keith up for visitors anytime soon? Steve wants to give him a photograph he took at the beach. Steve didn't get it ready (he wanted to frame it nicely) when Keith was in the hospital, but we'd still like to give it to him. Steve's an awesome photographer.
So glad to hear this good news! I know you all are glad to have him back home! Continuing to pray for all of you!
