Philippians 1:19 – For I know that for me this will turn out to salvation through your petition and the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ
Last night we got the call we’ve been waiting for, for the last two months. Adam’s biopsy results came back and his neuroblastoma is not NMYC amplified, putting him in the 4s (intermediate risk) category. This is a HUGE relief to us, and a wonderful answer to all of your prayers. This means that his […]
Adam seems to be recovering very well from his surgery. His incision seems to be healing nicely, and he is on the go now, crawling everywhere. He recovered much more quickly than we had expected. Biopsy results? Well, we’re still waiting on that. Pathology was supposed to have something by this morning, but now it’s […]
We were discharged this morning at 10:30 am. We are finally back at home again! Adam is recovering well from his surgery. We are still waiting for a big poopy diaper but he’s passed a lot of gas already, which is a good sign that his bowels are moving ? The nutritionist came by last […]
As of last night Adam was allowed to begin eating. We started him out slowly, and he’s ramped up this morning. He’s had 12 oz to eat this morning. His nausea seems to have subsided, and he’s now disconnected from all the tubes and monitor wires. He has been switched to oral pain meds in […]
It’s now been almost 36 hours since Adam has had any food. The doctors do not want him to eat anything until they know his intestinal tract is functioning properly. We are hoping they regain function very soon because as you can imagine, Adam is STARVING. He’s tried vomiting a few times this morning, and […]
Just a brief update- Adam’s surgery was successful. We arrived at the hospital at 5:30 am, he entered the OR at 7:45 am and was in recovery by 11:00 am. The surgeon was able to fully remove the tumor without any complication. Biopsies of the liver and the bone marrow were also successfully completed. The […]
Adam will be undergoing a surgery tomorrow (Wednesday, 3/28) to remove the primary tumor by his adrenal gland/kidney area. This tumor is a little bigger than a golf ball, and will be a rather complex surgical procedure with a lot of blood vessel and organ involvement. It will be an open procedure with a 4-6 […]
Last Thursday Adam had another routine blood draw. This time he did not need any transfusions, which means he’s on the upswing! He’s been sleeping well and eating more. Hopefully he gains weight, since he’s plateaued the past couple months. On Monday, March 26th, we have an appointment with our primary oncologist, then on Tuesday […]
We were discharged from the hospital last night (Sunday) around 6:30 pm. We are home now! ☺ As mentioned previously, the doctors had been monitoring the following 3 things before we could be discharged: Eating ANC (neutrophil count- immunity) No bacterial growth in blood culture or recurring fever Regarding his eating… Adam was taken off […]
The days of being apprehensive of leaving the hospital are gone. Home is so much better. Aside from Adam’s fever, the ER doctors were also very concerned about his lethargy, elevated heart rate and labored breathing, so we were on hold in the ER until they could determine the cause. We were potentially being considered […]
