That's pretty much what Tyler's weekend has been like. He's had a
pick line put in, x-rays, blood work, more stitching, more drains, etc.
He's not really a happy camper. His pain is still high, but they are
managing it better now. He was awake and watching football most of the
afternoon today. He seemed real crabby, not wanting to communicate or
anything. I know he's not loving it here...or maybe it was because he
was watching the Lions?
At any rate, it seems everyone is
settling in here and beginning to trust the doctors. We're still
waiting to hear a plan on the cancer. He will have another surgery
tomorrow to do a biopsy of the tumor. Hopefully that will give them
enough information to make some decisions on treatment.
It's
going to be a long treatment and recovery here. It's nice to be at a
hospital that puts the patients and their family first. The
accommodations are amazing. My kids love going there...it's like a field
trip for them. Today, they were in a day camp where they did some
crafts, played at the indoor play center and had a snack. This allowed
me to hang out in Tyler's room uninterrupted for a couple of hours. The
Ronald McDonald house is just a short walk away and that allows for
someone to stay the night with Michelle so she doesn't get too lonely in
the evenings and mornings. I can see she is loving that.
Here are some photos...
