I have been reluctant to talk about our visit to clinic Wednesday. I guess I feel if I dont talk about it then I can sorta just go on with the day. Of course it doesnt happen that way..EVER! Dont get me wrong...its amazing that Patrick is so loved and everyone wants to know how he is...I just couldnt talk about it. Anyway...this is the short version. The surgeon could do more surgery but the tumor is pretty aggressive and he thinks that the good effects are decreasing(duh) and he is continually weakening his body every time we go in. Therefore Patrick said No more surgeries. They upped his pain meds..alot. We ordered a brace for his hand so it wouldnt seize up. He will go back on Dec 23 for another follow up. His legs were discussed but we all knew eventually he wouldnt walk. Thursday Patrick couldnt walk at all...every time I would get him to stand, his legs would give out. It was a very trying day for us both. He was upset over how quickly his legs are getting bad...I was looking at the bigger scheme. In two months time my son has gone from being independent to now I have to help him do almost everything. I am truly having the hardest time processing all of it. Anyway I decided to restart Patricks steroids...Friday afternoon he was able to walk for me. Yes I am a dr..lol! I have 11 years of Cancer mom training before anyone smarts off. He has stood and walked to his chair this morning with my help. He isnt in pain which I am extremely happy about. He is good today and wants to get out so that is what we will do. I am not sure what tomorrow will bring so we will just live here in the moment and just keep on. As always Rock Chalk Patrick
