Thursday Evening

You know, just when I thought we were going in the right direction… the oncologist visited us late today. We thought they were going to bring us the ‘final results’ of the tumor in her tail bone. Initial reports had come back that they thought it was benign. However, today they shared that they think it may be cancerous and might have to start radiation therapy in the next couple of days. They have sent (yet again) another sample to the Mayo Clinic for additional information. Granted, they are as frustrated as us, but I have to tell you, this is crazy. They are saying that the inflammation may not be MS again that it might be related to the tumor that was in her tail bone. Becca was also having a difficult day as they removed the line in her femoral artery. It bled a lot today as they have been giving her drugs with the blood treatments to keep it from clotting. She was also in a bit of pain from her incisions. Don’t get me wrong, she is still in good spirits, it’s just another one of those challenging days. We were looking forward to starting therapy on Monday.

So, where do we stand? In need of prayers. We will take this full force again, as I know she will be ok.

Thursday Afternoon

Many asked what the blood treatment looked like. Here is the nice machine 🙂 After 5 days, you would think we would like it… not really.

Here is a picture when the boys came to see her for the first time after about a week.

Here is Amanda, one of Becca’s occupational therapists. Amanda is working with her movement.

This is Dr. Beshay. He is one of her main neurosurgeons. He has been working on his day’s off just to try and figure this out.

Wednesday PM

Becca is sleeping well tonight. She did a lot of therapy today, and completed more each time she tried. She’s pretty tired. We didn’t receive any additional news today, but she is going to keep working with the physical therapist for a while.

I wanted to note that on the right side of the page, there is an archive area. This has all the posts since the beginning. Also, I posted a link to my other website, although I haven’t updated the pictures in quite a while.
