yep...back in the ER...shout outs to the Cassady Fire house!! they came quikly and wisked us right down here to OSU even though OSU said 'divert'...our guys weren't having it!!!! so hoooooraaaayyyy to them.
we're getting stabilized right now....and forgive me for typing right now...this keeps me in a less than freak out mode....hubby is watching Jay Leno and waiting for permission to take his sleeping meds!!
the right lung has backfilled from the last drain....we were already scheduled for a pluerelcentesis so i'm gunning to just go ahead and get it done...also...the blood transfusion that was already scheduled for friday am might just get done too..that brings our apts down by two....there are a couple others that were being scheduled today when we saw the doc.
oh yeah, you're probably wondering about that visit today.....well...i need to tell you that i am officially NOT IN LOVE with this encologist. I want OUR DR. SMITH back!! DR. Sykora also!!!!!!! we tried to talk about that fact that we are struggling to get pain under control and that hubby can't get any sleep of late..and is actually playing musical chairs every 10 minutes most of the night....doc never asked about results from reducing a med that they told us to do the last time we were there.....all he wanted to say was...well, we're gonna stop almpta and why don't we do Tarceva!! and by the way..that drug gives you about a 10% return and is guarenteed to give you a rash.....
just because you spent three days in the hospital a week ago, and you came in last week b/c things were going that well...and you've had three blood transfusions...i think we should just give you some more damn poison!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i could just spit today....i really really could. the man never ever ever ever said to my husband....damn big guy...you've had a hell of a month....i feel bad that the trial med brought all of this on...but it was worth a shot....here is what we can do next....or we can do this........what DO YOU WANT TO DO???????????????
OUR DR. SMITH and DR. SIKORA would have said that!!!!!!!
JULIE and CHRISTINE ...can you pack them up in your suitcase and bring them with you next week???? BECAUSE...you ARE STILL coming!!! i want and need you to come up....
so.. the plan thus far this evening is to: do another chest CT to get a good look at that lung and blood clot...also...we are hoping to get that blood transfusion. we've been told there are no available beds over in the hospital..but my new best friend nurse told me that she'd sneak me a cot in here a little later!!!
thanks to my mom and papa and baba for taking over for us tonight as we wisked down the street!! i know my MsR is a little shaken up...she could use a prayer....MS.V went right into action and started packing a bag for daddy as we waited for the squad...she even went up stairs and got me a bra....since i was already in my nightgown.....i really think she just didn't want me to embarrass myself....
too bad i didnt' bring my camera...i could get you some pictures...
so..hugs to everyone...stay tuned...i'll keep posted on the blog as usual as i won't be making a ton of cell phone calls....

Sheri,
I am thinking of you as I do everyday. Wish there was something I could do. I know how hard this gets, as you know. I will keep you and the whole family in my prayers. I understand the anger and frustration with the doctors. Tarceva, rash, all of it familiar to me. How I wish I could help you. Email me if you need to "talk", or just know I am here in Iowa praying for you.
