Dec 6 th

Today we had a meeting with the radiologist and went over the procedures that we will do we we come back on the 20th of dec. there was positive and negative things about it. they are quite sure they can shrink the tumor with the radiation in a quick way but it has the side affects of it also. they are worried about her ovaries where they are so close to her bladder that the radiation will have an affect on them and make it so she cant conceive. there is a procedure where they can take them and put them up in her abdomen so they wont be harmed. they say its not to hard on her to do it, so we are looking into that right now. our next concern before we can bring her home is to be able to cath her a few times a day until the tumor shrinks enough she can go on her own normally.we were hoping that when we took her fully cathedar out sunday that she would be able to urinate on her own, and she was a little bit but not enough to satisfy anyone. so after her bladder scan we had to try to get it back in to drain the system. after four of us held her down to do it we realized this wasn't going to happen three or four times a day at home. so we have the fully back in now and we are prob bringing it home with us for a while, which will be no fun. we spent some of the day learning how to change bandages and clean her central line. ( i don't know if i mentioned this before but they surgically implanted a line into one of her main arteries that will be used to draw all of the blood samples and to do the chemo through during the next 43 weeks) anyways that is what we are learning how to take care of. we are busy and overwhelmed with information but we have faith we will all get through this and learn alot throughout the process. thanks again for everyone's thoughts,prayers, and support. we couldn't do it without you guys, thanks and until our next post love adam,jenni,kensley and korbin
