Well, today was a long day at the Hospital in Seattle. We started off with a Breathing appointment at 8am. After they decided that everything was ok there, we waited for 2 more hours and got in for our consultation at 11am with the Pulminologist, Dr. Lewis. Might I say, he is awesome!! We went over everything, he examined him and decided that yes for sure we would do the biopsy today. Before that, he wanted to go over the actual CT Scan with us so we could see the difference in a matter of 4 days. It was definitley obvious! The right hylar (sp?) lymphnode looks like it has doubled in size. A bit scary and concerning of course, but the other thing that we didn't know before is that it is pushing on his lung so now that is partially collapsed. He didn't seem overly concerned about it yet, but he did say that if he doesn't get results back by tomorrow, that he is going to send us back for surgery to have it removed. The Dr took Corey back by 12:15 and we were leaving the hospital by 3:15.
So now we're home, Corey did great through the biopsy, he did say he remembers all of it but that it wasn't painful, just uncomfortable. He is now just sleeping on the couch and will probably be out for a bit, but that'll give me time to get a few things done that need to be. :) Hopefully we'll know tomorrow next steps. As always, thanks for the continued prayers, I'll be udating as soon as we get the results tomorrow.
Corey and Melinda
How Much Longer???
Melinda, I know this is all very scary for you but God is still in the business of miracles! When a huge tumor was found in my brother-in-laws "torso"(I say torso because it had spread to so many areas and had actually pushed on his spine and broke a disk), some people were sure that he would never survive it, but we wouldn't believe that without hearing it from God, and we kept praying. God led him to an awesome doctor - and after some aggressive chemotherapy, we were amazed at the changes we saw take place before our eyes. We saw a man who had been crawling on the floor because he couldn't stand to walk -- walking on his job again just three months later!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd that is the kind of healing we are praying for and expecting for Corey!
God bless you both and give you His peace as you wait for His miracle!
