Surgery is complete

Harry had surgery this afternoon to put in a Bard Power Port. They decided early this morning to avoid further complications to have the Radiology Doctor that did his biopsy to place the port under a CT Scan. He came through brilliantly and the first thing he asked for was a Sugar Free Chocolate Snowball - so I got him one. He has eaten very well this evening.

They have added a few new items to the medication menu and it seems to be working.. Dr. Murray has his hands full trying to control the diabetes with all the steroids but he is working on it.

Harry should have a full chemotherapy treatment tomorrow - and I have been told to expect a 7 or 8 hour infusion.

If all goes well and they get his sugars to cooperate - I feel like we could go home this weekend.

Oh BTW - the chemo treatment will be once every 3 weeks..
thanks for all the prayers and visits - without them we would not be where we are today - thank you thank you thank you
