We're Home

We are home now! Yesterday Ric got more blood platelets to get him further "boosted" up. He could have nothing to eat or drink after midnight last night in case they had to do any "surgical repairs" after the plugs are removed. This morning at 7:30am the ENT (ear, nose, throat) doctor removed one of the nose plugs, waited 10 minutes with no bleeding and then removed the other one. They made him wait until 10am to make sure no bleeding then allowed him to eat. Of course with his appetite he was STARVING by that time! After hanging out all day in the hospital room and him finally getting a shower with no bleeding, doc released him from the hospital. Of course with all that went on this last week and basically no sleep with the nose plugs in, he's very tired. So now that he can breath and at home in his own bed we expect he will be sleeping very well tonight! We will see his oncologist next Tuesday to find out what the cancer attack plan is from here forward. He will probably have to take a break from the Avastin that was working so well and switch to some other treatment which makes us a bit nervous. It's really a bummer as he was doing so well. But we know that this is all in God's hands and we just give it to Him every day. We thank you all for your prayers, love and support during this recent bump. It's really an encouragement to have all of you there for us. Love you all!
