irishfield Posted October 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Thanks folks! Leah and I just got into Jen's Toronto apartment, hopefully for a full night and some much needed sleep. Jen saw her neuro at 8:10am, was admitted through emerg to jump the system... blood work, ECG. lung xray, etc and finally got a neuro floor room at 2pm. About 7pm she was taken to have a special CT that shows the blood vessels in her brain. At the current time, 11:45pm, still waiting for an MRI that is supposed to happen before morning. She's NPO as of midnight, so hopefully surgery proceeds tomorrow unless the consults with her Medical Oncol, Radiation Oncol and the Neuro decide another approach is needed before tumour removal. We've seen the CT from Sunday night, the tumour is perfectly round and looks like someone jammed a tennis ball into her head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishfield Posted October 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) Got her MRI at 4am... still NPO and waiting (now 12:45pm). She may get surgery later today or tonight, but we're getting that "ground hog day" feeling, like her last time here, that she's not going to be able to eat anything all day... and then find she gets passed over.. repeat tomorrow. Time will tell. She's getting a tad testy with no sleep or food. Edited October 15, 2014 by irishfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishfield Posted October 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Well another day of NPO and no surgery. We snuck her out to the 3 Brewers on Yonge St. for a 9pm supper to try and top her up again before midnight. Hopefully they fit her in tomorrow, or you may hear of a disturbance at St. Mike's in the news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cast-Away Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Wayne, I live in Newmarket and can check with the mrs. if you need a place to stay close to the city? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted October 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) Thanks Castaway, but we're fine and thankfully aren't paying for a hotel everynight while we wait... as we have Jen's apartment about 30 minutes from the hospital. Jen was in Que for the last OR of the night at about 9pm last night... and then a Helicopter landed on the roof at 9:10, followed by her nurse running into her room and declaring "you can eat" "Sorry" ! $%(*@$*(@$(* Been moved up the priority list this morning from a "C" to a "B" and has been told 99% chance she'll get in within the next 8 hours. Sure hope so as her headaches are getting worse and considering this thing grew at the rate of at least a 1/2 cm per week, in the 10 weeks since a clear MRI was done July 23rd... it has most likely grown another 0.5cm in the time she's been lying here NPO all week.

irishfield Posted October 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) Everything went to hell in a handbasket about 9 pm last night.... her Surgeon is livid with the OR scheduling staff. He called me last night about 11pm, while we had Jen out to the Firkin on Yonge for some food, and read me a scathing letter to the OR scheduling staff, that "Jen will be on the list after the first short procedure scheduled on Monday morning or she will suddenly become an "A" case and they'll have no choice." So hopefully that happens... as by Monday she's going to be an A case on her own, as this thing continues to grow and her mobility lessens.
