Pain Pain Go Away :)

Yesterday after two days of Ryans pain being uncontrolled at home, the Dr admitted him to St Lukes Downtown. His pain in better today and they are trying to get his cortisol levels figured out. He had a MRI yesterday to look for infection in his spine since he has had a lot of pain there and a high fever. The results are that his cancer has spread to the T12 level of his vertebrae. We are waiting on the information from the Rad Onc to get started on radiation of that site as well. They will start this today, since they are worried that the tumor would make him paralyzed since it is laying on his spinal cord.
We have an amazing view from our presidential suite (broom closet) of the ER and have completely enjoyed the sounds of the chirping birds(machine alarms) and the four star linens on his bed and my cot, and are looking forward to a few more nights in paradise. On a serious note, they have done well today getting his pain under control and he is talking and feeling much better today.
Until Later!
Love, Hope, Faith!
