Life is what happens to you when you're busy making other plans.
The pretty-much-back-to-normal daily grind came to a screeching halt Thursday night when a trip to the local Emergency Room with Emmah revealed that the pains she was experiencing were not due to a urinary tract infection as was the case last fall. Instead, the pain was attributable to a 10cm mass located in her pelvis, which was putting pressure on her bladder and kidneys.
With that information in hand, she was admitted and transferred back to Hope Children's Hospital the next day. After reviewing the CT scan, we were informed by Emmah's oncologist and the pediatric surgeon that that mass did in fact appear to be resectable. Consequently, she was put on the surgery schedule for Monday (2/23). We are hopeful that the procedure will be as straightforward as has been suggested (i.e., no surprises upon entry).
Then comes the long wait for the pathology results, which will determine the next step in the process. Depending on timing, these could be available tomorrow, or possibly Wednesday.
We are trying to take it a day at a time while keeping the faith. As always, PKEIYTAP.
