Thursday – Post Op

Becca is out of surgery. The great news is it was not a tumor in her spinal cord. If it had been, it would have meant that the tumor in her tail bone was spreading and they would have only given her six months to live.

The not so good news is that it was a lesion and it’s a degenerative type of disease. We don’t have a lot of answers right now which is very hard, but hopefully soon we will know exactly what it going on. She is in ICU and on a ventilator tonight to help her breath. Becca will need to get a LOT of rest. They aren’t saying it is MS, but they believe it’s something in that category. They are starting some other therapy’s with the blood by taking out the antibodies that are basically attacking her nervous system. They aren’t sure if it’s connected in some small way to the tumor in her tail bone or the spots on her brain. They might still do a biopsy of the brain sometime in the future.

I’m holding on and it’s a tough night for me. Please keep praying, He can help.

Thursday Afternoon

Becca is in surgery right now to work on her neck. The doctors are worried that the steroids aren’t working and so they need to relieve the pressure on her neck. If they didn’t take her into surgery then she could possibly be on a ventilator by tomorrow. This was a last minute decision to take her into surgery. The surgery should last about 4 hours and hopefully will give her back the mobility in her body and relieve the pressure on her lungs.

Please keep us in your prayers! We need them all! Thanks for all of your continued support!
