3:00 AM Thursday
Wednesday the Neurosurgeon called and left a message on the phone at home. Sherry called his office but they had left for the day, so she called our nurse practitioner. NP said the surgeon had reviewed the MRI was concerned about the pocket of fluid. The oncologist had said there was excess fluid and that she would consult with the surgeon.
Now two days after his last chemo dose he was still having headaches and throwing up. SO the past week and a half of headaches and vomiting were not from the chemo but from the pressure of the fluid in his brain.
Sherry called the Doctor on call and when I got back to KC we took him to the hospital and they admitted him.
Later today, Thursday, they will do another surgery to drain the excess fluid. Details of how and what they will do we do not know right now. According to the NP and Resident Neurologist this isn't uncommon after the type of surgery he had previously.
Will post more as we find out later this morning.
Prayers please.
