God Bless our troops!
Jeanine had kind of a rough day yesterday! She was pretty active Saturday and Sunday, then yesterday, she just felt "kinda puny" all day. During the early evening, we noted that she had some swelling over the surgery area. We elevated her a bit more during the night. She had a rough time going to sleep. Slept well after she did. She awoke this morning, and the swelling was pronounced and very noticeable. Placed a call to Dr. Mickeys office, and at 2:30 pm the call was returned. Discussions indicated again that this swelling is "normal". The area where the scull was removed and replaced hasn't "sealed completely", thus the fluids seep into the area above the scull and below the scalp. Thus, "swelling". Now we did notice, even before the Dr. returned the call, that the swelling has begun to diminish some. She feels less "pressure" than she had last night and earlier today. Thank God, webelieve all is well. I only wish that I knew a bunch more about the things that can be "normal" than I do; but Dr. is good to answer our questions and relive our minds. This afternoon now, she feels good, and is busy hustling about. She has been making calls to various pharmacies concerning the intended chemo drugs. Needless to say, we are shocked at the cost of these drugs, and the relatively small portion paid for by the insurance company. But, that too is in Gods hands, and he will guide. Thursday we will see the radiation specialist for the "mask", and then treatments start June 4. Will post more later, or as anything develops.
God bless you all.
