One of the scariest days of my life...
scotte g
took my son in for a MRI. He had a head tilt and was off-balance for
about 3 weeks, so our PCP scheduled the scan. He went in at 8:30am
and about 9:30am, we were called to the front desk in the waiting
room, where there was a phone call for us. My wife answered and it
was our PCP, next thing, I saw Victoria's face drop with fear... our
doctor told her that they found a tumor in his brain. I stood there
next to her waiting for the bad news, as the whole waiting room
continued as if nothing was wrong. She turned and fell into me saying
those feared words... "he has a tumor." OMFG, ........
Well, after a half an hour (an eternity) a nueurosurgeon Doc. showed
us some of the scan and said he was going to go after it in the next
half-hour!!! OMG!!! What! and you need our permission....?...?
So, an hour later, our precious 2.5 year old son was having brain
surgery!
With all this bad news, and such kind and thoughtful nurses and
doctors, the Doctor came back to the waiting room and told us (2.5hrs
later) that it went really well, our son was awake in recovery, and
smoking a cigarette in the back just chillin'. LOL I think Brain
Surgeons have an interesting sense of humor...
So, wow, at about 1pm our son went into surgery, and 4pm he was in
PICU awake and telling Victoria to move out of the way of the
TV..,"Mom, I can't see the show," he says. :) :)
Now we are home (came home 8-13 around 3pm), he is playing, talking,
walking, as if nothing was wrong!!! WOW, who would have thought...
such a fast recovery, no complications... O M G! So, needless to
say, we are very grateful and happy to have him home... Oh, and our
daughter (5 now) didn't really care that we couldn't be there on her
B-Day. She's just happy to play with her brother again... and so are
we!!!
much love, hope everyone is well

p.s. the tumor seems to be benign!!! but not totally sure yet.
