We got up early and got to Sloan around 8 and the bloodwork started. Then we were off to the 2nd floor for an echocardiogram. Then off to another part of the 2nd floor for CT and PET scan. Then up to the 11th floor for the MRI. Cody was good but seemed nervous. He did well. I noticed it was taking longer than normal for the MRI. I heard the radiologist talking about a patient and it was Cody. Apparently they did the wrong MRI so he needed to do another one! Yep, 2 MRI's. It was now past 1:00 and he had not eaten and we would miss our appt with the dr. We were set to see the dr at 3:00 so we left to get a slice of pizza. We finally got into the dr around 3 and no results yet. Well, the CT was back and there was one spot there but it appeared to be an infection and not Ewing's sarcoma. We will get more results tomorrow, hopefully. Cody's platelet count was not high enough to start chemo. So he came home with me and he will go back on Wednesday morning to check again. This is the 2 day chemo so he could do it Wednesday and Thursday and hydrate over the weekend. So hoping that all works out for all of us. I am pooped beyond words. I am sure he is too. Will update again when I know something.
Thank you for all the prayers today…I know they are working!! XOXOXOX
Mary,
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that Cody had a great time at the hockey game! I hope the player appreciated what he was being given by your special boy. It's understandable that you are both nervous and having to be re-scanned surely didn't help. I hope that you will get only good, positive news tomorrow and that Cody will be okay to start chemo on Wednesday. Glad you are home in your own nest with your dogs. Thinking of you both often.
xoxo,
Diane
You are the best, Diane…yes, he is a special player.
