Posted: Mon Sep 25, 2006 11:41 pm Post subject: Tragic news in real life for our family. Update Oct24 2006 |
|
|
This last month my brother in law took ill and was hospitalized for awhile. His left side went numb and he collasped, well he recovered but not fully, they did a lot of tests and scans and found something...something not good.
He had a dark spot on his mri on right side of his brain. Well they tried to treat this with medication but he has gotten worse, having a hard time in walking and standing for a long period of time. Well the spot now is bigger and they have to do an biopsy on this thing. Its a major operation and well he could lose the use of his left side. Its a frightening prospect, we all fear the worse, its hard to talk about. I thought it best to write about it here, i know a lot of people won't read this but to those who do thanks. It helps to talk about it.
The operation went down today Monday sept 25
It is not good, the tumor is throughout his brain, it inoperatable.
Well they did remove some of it, but they have said it will probably grow back.
A full biopsy will be finished by the end of the week and then we will know if radiation will slow things.
There is no cure, its an awful choice for him to make. Radiation might just make him sicker, I don't know what i would do if i was in his place right now, i just dont know.
There was some good, he did wake up and he did recognize everyone so thats in his favor right now.
We are all at a loss, family has been told, so i guess it is take one day at a time for now.
Thanks.
UPDATE SEPT27
Today my brother in law moved his left arm, first time since the surgery, YAY. Finally a plus.
Also he knows everyone and mostly complaining of a headache. They have him on morphene and sleeps a lot of the time.
My sisters phone rang off the hook tonight with people with sympathy and well wishes. She even got donations to help with the fuel to get her up to see her husband. Talk about nice folks.
Thanks for all the well wishing.
UPDATE OCT 24TH 2006
LAST NIGHT MY BROTHER IN LAW HENRY PASSED AWAY DUE TO BREATHING COMPLICATIONS. HIS LOSS WILL BE GREATLY FELT THROUGHOUT THIS COMMUNITY. THANKS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT SHOWN HERE. IT IS PLEASURE TO CALL YOU FRIENDS.

Miracles happen; I knew a man in 1968 or so who recovered fully from a serious brain tumor. That said, you and he both have my full sympathies. |

Just wondering, but are there any updates on the situation, Cheetaur? I'd really like to know how things are going for you. You have my thoughts and concerns.
Much Love,
