Medi Port Today


So I have to admit, Andrew was a model patient today. He had a single Medi-port inserted under his right collar bone. The port will allow him to more easily receive Chemo when the time is right. The procedure itself only took about an hour. He came trough it with flying colors and even a smile on his face. He is only now experiencing a minor amount of pain and discomfort where the port was inserted. This pain is usual and will subside over the next few days. He will be able to resume regular activity in about 7 days -- you know, installing tile floors, mowing the lawn, moving furniture .. etc. etc.....
Tomorrow is the big day. The day we go to Johns Hopkins to talk to Dr. Thornton about Andrew's treatment options and when he will begin the regiment.
Cross your fingers and send good thoughts our way.

Good-nite and Good Luck...........

  1. Hey guys. Listen, when Andrew is finished moving the furniture around in your house, could you send him our way? I have a dresser in the bedroom that is in absolute beast to move! :-) Keep on smiling, you two.

    Love, Lanhi

  3. Amy & Andrew,
    This is a great way to share your pain. It always helps to share--just like you did when you were kids--at least that's what Moms always say. We are sorry to hear about this but are praying for you in all ways--Gram even added a line in our evening grace to include Andrew's healing. Keep that positive attitude!!! Love, Darrell & Norma
