The ICU unit is the greatest!! The nurses are super nice and very attentive and patient. He remains there as of when I left tonight mainly because there is no room for him in a regular room. He can stay there for all I care - it's a great room. The hospital is full which they say is rare so close to Christmas. He had a tolerable day. It wasn't great - but it wasn't horrible. He didn't sleep last night hardly at all - Dr. gave him a sleep aid for tonight - so hopefully he can sleep. He is laying flat on his back for yet another day. His entire bed tilts so he can raise up. I spent the whole day with him. He managed to sneek in a nap or two now and then...that is when he wasn't watching a marathon of NCIS.
He ate decently today. The pain was managable with his back. The newest issue he is having is numbness in his right leg now. He had numbness and a burning sensation in his left leg prior to the sugery. That is all steming from the cancer no doubt since it choose to house itself in his central nervous system.
They will attempt to get him up probably on friday........and send us home on Saturday. I pray that he heals in a decent amount of time so we can move forward with a plan of treatment. We still don't have the pathology report back and it more than likely won't be available until Monday or Tuesday. Seems like forever - but at least we know it's coming now.
I need to get recharged!! Good Night!!
