Shelby's dr. came in that done his surgery before I, Vicky, got to the hospital this morning. He told Shelby a few things....
1- it may be 2-3 days before he can have a drink (water included). His bowels have to start functioning before he can have a drink.
2- if this is lymphoma (which they are talking as if it is-which i am sure they know, they just need confirmation from the pathology report), it will be 5-6 weeks before they can do treatment (he has to have time to heal from surgery-the biopsy).
3- his fevers are probaby coming from the "dead" lymphnodes. the inside of the lymphnodes are "dead" which they have puss on the inside of them, so the dr. inserted a drain tube which he still has in him, draining off the puss/infection from the "dead" lymphnodes.
4- he also told Shelb he cut out a wedge from the mass, so we are awaiting the results of the biopsy, to confirm if it's the lymphnoma or not. it may take up to a week or so for the results of the biopsy.
please just keep praying for all of us! and know that God has a plan and he already knows What's going on and what is going to happen. Thanks for all the prayers, concerns, and love that you all have shown! God Bless, Shelby, Vicky, Kip, Amber, and Chase. :)
