Monday-We had a pretty good day-well we knew it was gonna be a waiting day. We were still waiting on Pathology results. Blake was trying to walk more and more. We held him up and he started moving his leg to walk. All the nurses were amazed. He was not gonna let anything keep him down. He is truly a fighter.Tuesday-We had our intro to Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Speech Therapy. They each came up to talk to us. We did our best to be patient waiting for the results. They day seemed to creep by. We were told that we would find something out, so it was a long day of waiting. Later that night Dr. Nightingale came by to give us path's report. It was confusing and overwhelming and she couldn't really explain it all. We went to bed with heavy shoulders, wondering what the next day would hold. We needed Dr. Shore to explain it.
Wednesday-We went to the gym for Physical Therapy and then Speech came to do an evaluation on Blake's comprehension. While we were down in the rehab gym we missed Dr. Shore. We didn't realize this until 6 at night. All day we had been waiting for his visit. So needles to say we were getting frustrated. We just wanted to know what the pathology results meant. Another long night.
Thurs-Dr. Shore came by and let us know that as of right now there is NO NAME for the tumor blake has. Right now all we really need to know is that it is low grade, level 1, and its a slow growing tumor. He said that for now surgery was the only treatment, and that our plan is for Blake to go through rehab. We were moved up to the 5th floor, tower s, room 15. We are very happy that they moved us to rehab. Blake is going to be getting a lot of intense therapy. They sent the pathology results out for a second opinion. It would be another long wait-at least we knew we would be staying off 4th floor-oncology/hemotology. So good news is how we took it.
