Questions answered

We talked to several folks at MD Anderson today and at least got some of our questions answered.

E. does in fact have to have another endoscopic ultrasound performed. Since he has his pre-procedure appointments on Friday for the EUS on Monday, we're headed back to Texas on Thursday.

Once we meet with the surgeon on Wednesday, June 22nd, surgery "could be" as soon as the following week. Or not. Guess we'll see.

Recovery time could be awhile. Minimum of a week in the hospital. More than likely, two weeks. Another 5 to 7 days of hanging out before he's allowed to travel. Think we'll pick up a southern accent?

E3 is not allowed to be in E.'s hospital room. At all. Since the patients all have compromised immune systems, they don't want to chance having children bring in yucky germs. Understandable. But soooo difficult. I'm having a tough time at the thought of being apart from him . . . it's not like the older kids that we can talk to on the phone, text, e-mail, etc. Uggghhh. But this isn't about me.

Fit for a king.

Now, can you imagine leaving that face behind? :(
