My wife is having a minor setback today with loss of function of certain muscles and movements. The doctor says it 'is to be expected.' I believe that as a medical person, but as a husband to the patient, it rattles me. For good, bad, or indifferent reasons, Lisa takes her actions, reactions, and... Sign in to see full entry.

Unless something drastically changes, this is my last entry for the day. Lisa is doing well and she is making short walks in the hall. We were talking about a fairly heavy subject about biology, and she was remembering things quite well. That is important to me. It means that so far, the depth of... Sign in to see full entry.
Small Update
The surgeon spoke with me for about eight minutes a few moments ago. He told me that he believes that they have hit nearly all of the tumors, but there is a possibility that they may have to repeat this treatment four to six weeks from now. I knew that was going to be the case. They rarely get it... Sign in to see full entry.
Lisa has just been returned to a post surgical room. While still sedated, she smiled when she saw me. Doctors tell me it will take at least 48 hours to see the final results of the laser work. More soon. V Sign in to see full entry.

I have confusing information, but one definitive action that has been set in motion. Even after the biopsy, the type of tumor is not known. Yeah, that bothers me, but I am in full agreement with the action being taken. A surgery to remove the tumor by laser has been scheduled for 8 AM Friday. There... Sign in to see full entry.

They have eased up on her sedation level. Her aunt called me a bit ago to tell me that she had gotten up to walk down the hall a... Sign in to see full entry.

Another Update
Whew, I have come home for a rest. Lisa's family has driven up here from Lansing, roughly a 500 mile trip, and they will with her for a day or two. I will go back tomorrow, but I have things that I must get done. I have a signed contract to be out of here by October 25th, and that date is coming far... Sign in to see full entry.
They did a biopsy this morning. All seemed to go as planned. Lisa is lightly sedated, but is aware that I am here. I asked and was given permission by the surgeon to lay next to her. I want her to know that I am there, and that I will always be there. A couple of the nurses are not thrilled about... Sign in to see full entry.

They just told me that they will do a biopsy at 6:30 tomorrow morning. Then they will have a better idea of what they are dealing with. More when I get it. Thank you. V Sign in to see full entry.
Update
Alright. This will not be easy for me to write. If you read any of Lisa's posts, I think she mentioned several times that she was having 'headaches.' Thirty-six hours ago, she also began to have visual, olfactory, and sensory issues, causing me to take her to the local ER. She was there for about... Sign in to see full entry.
