I have come to dread the word surgery. It's not like I every "liked" it per sei but now it has even more of a bad connotation in my mind. Even though his 7 hour surgery to remove the tumor went fine, every time he goes under I get that dreadful feeling in my stomach and I can't decide if I want to puke my brains out or poop my brains out! Well, tomorrow bright and early at 10 am he is having surgery to put in a G tube. The G tube is going to be the primary mechanism to feed him while he is getting chemo. Because he is still bottle fed and because the chemo will probably make him want to eat less, this is a must have.
I am scared as hell, this is the first step to start chemo. Starting last night they ran a 24 hour urine as a baseline for his Kidney fuctions, they did an echo of his heart today, again as a baseline for the strength of his heart muscle because chemo can weaken it. This G-Tube is a finality in my mind that this is really happening and its not just a bad nightmare.

ReplyDeleteI know you don't know me but I found your blog on Raising Madison. I wanted to tell you that I'll be praying for you and your family now and the days to come! Our Amelia had heart surgery in November and I know exactly what you mean about going into surgery. Scary. Keep the faith!
