Thursday – Post Op
Becca is out of surgery. The great news is it was not a tumor in her spinal cord. If it had been, it would have meant that the tumor in her tail bone was spreading and they would have only given her six months to live.
The not so good news is that it was a lesion and it’s a degenerative type of disease. We don’t have a lot of answers right now which is very hard, but hopefully soon we will know exactly what it going on. She is in ICU and on a ventilator tonight to help her breath. Becca will need to get a LOT of rest. They aren’t saying it is MS, but they believe it’s something in that category. They are starting some other therapy’s with the blood by taking out the antibodies that are basically attacking her nervous system. They aren’t sure if it’s connected in some small way to the tumor in her tail bone or the spots on her brain. They might still do a biopsy of the brain sometime in the future.
I’m holding on and it’s a tough night for me. Please keep praying, He can help.
