OT- DH update.
Well, it has been a nightmare of doctors and hospitals and insurance
companies, but we actually have a little hope now.( Six doctors, two hospitals and two insurance companies, Whew, I'm a wreck!) We have seen a surgeon that wants to try to do surgery. They are going to do it on Monday. BUT, before they do the actual surgery, they are going to do a laparoscopic thing, where they will check first to see if the cancer has spread to any other organs, if everything looks o.k., they will go ahead and do the whole surgery at that time. So, I guess it will be one time when I will pray that the surgery takes the whole 4-5 hours, and I don't see the doctor come walking out in just one hour. DH is taking it all very well, he has an extremely positive attitude and wants to do the surgery. I guess not being able to eat has finally gotten to him. He has actually made jokes about it and insists that the hospital better have the SF channel 'cause he's not going to watch soap operas all day long. If everything goes according to plan, he will be in the hospital for two weeks. They say that after they remove the stomache or part of, and /or part of his esophagus they want to make sure that everything is healing correctly and that he has no trouble getting food down and that his bowels work o.k. before they let him come home. My husband actually asked the doctor if he will have more room on his inside if they take out all those parts. I teased him that it was no fair, I was the one that needed the gastric bypass ... he's too skinny already! He plans on spending the next few days getting all the stuff done he has put off doing (Lord, we'll need months for that!), because he knows he will be very limited for quite awhile. The major thing has now become the lawn mower, he's been having trouble keeping it running this spring. I think I suggested getting a couple of goats, but that didn't go over too well. My Mom seems to be hanging in there and not having any major crisis at this time, so that's a little bit less to worry about. Hopefully she will be o.k. for the next few weeks and we can get through DH's stuff. So, if you have a moment on Monday, say a little prayer for him. Thanks for all your prayers and hugs ... you guys will never know just how much they mean to us and how much we appreciate them. Peg |
