Family conference call helped us all understand the medical aspects of the situation as well as to plan for the next few days. Wednesday will be the next CT scan (abdominal), following up on Medi-Cal and taking care of other details such as school and documentation. UCSF has accepted Andy as a patient and is sending the forms to get things started. They will also say how much money they want for the consultation of course.
The size and location of the growths are impacting respiration and there is a risk of blood clots, both issues making extensive travel dangerous.
As of now, we plan to get biopsies done at UCSF ASAP and then make the next plan. The family that prays together stays together and we need it now more than ever!
Chelle is helping monitor and decipher medical results. Julianne is helping with keeping the medical billing straight (with Laurie's help on appointments and services rendered record keeping). Lisa will request help from her attorneys with legal documentation. Michael's role today is to keep the family in Nor Cal positive and provide whatever physical support they need. Mom, and Dad, are ready to jump on a plane as soon as Andy says "come". Scarlet is going to provide her Daddy with great love an comfort as does Laurie. IGBOK!
Hi everyone, It's great to see the family participating actively! I'd like everyone to stay hopeful, so far although the lymph tumors seem overwhelming, it appears so far that the involvement is only lymph and I hope that is good, lets hope for the best news today about the abdominal organs and stay hopeful! Love you all!
