Patience
We are waiting for cytology on Ty's CSF, and we don't expect to be able to provide you with details until Wednesday. The cytology is an examination of all the various cell types in his CSF in an effort to try and figure out his otherwise unexplained head pain. In the meantime, we are patiently waiting for surgery tomorrow, and even more patiently waiting for discharge. Ty continues to suffer from setbacks, the latest being an extreme bout of nausea and fevers, but as of this evening he was able to keep down his tylenol and now he is like a new little man. He's happy as can be. Here is a picture I took just minutes ago of Pop-Pop in bed with Ty. Today he had him looking through toy catalogs and building upon his long list to Santa.
Speaking of Santa and the holiday season, a great friend recently suggested that I post a message about what we expect from our friends and family during the holidays. It's true, I imagine some of you aren't exactly sure what to do. Should you send photos of your smiling children and holiday greetings filled with cheer while we are going through such difficult times? Yes... absolutely. Lou and I would very much like you to. We love to hear from our friends, especially around the holidays, and it brings us joy to see how big your kids are getting, how cute your dogs are, how your family has grown, etc. Please don't hesitate :)
Tomorrow Ty will be having a new, sterile VP shunt placed. If all goes well with his recovery and pain management, we expect to be discharged on Tuesday. We can't wait to take Ty home. He always does so much better when he is back in his element.
Cindy.. You are ROCK SOLID. Stay strong for your little boy. We continue to pray for Ty and your family.

ReplyDeleteI have a bald head just like you in your picture Ty! I am having chemo right now and every time I get it I am going to say an extra prayer for you and think all about you. I have to tell my two big labrador dogs about you so that they can think about you and put you into their prayers, too.
