As I write this blog I cannot help but consider those who may read this in preparation for their own similar surgery. However, we are coming up to 7 weeks in hospital so I think the time for using this as inspiration may have passed. We have to remember the important part which is that even on today's CT scan there is still no sign of cancer.
As far as complications go, infections are more a nuisance than a worry (at least this is what Dr. T says). Steven has had a tube reinserted today and will have a new drain tomorrow. He is tired and sick (and also sick and tired). It has been a long journey and we need to get back on track once again. I try to avoid posting on the bad days and I wish I had better news to report but I feel the need to keep everyone in the loop.
Hoping my next post is much more uplifting.
Our love to all.
Tracy
Tracy and Steven, we're keeping you guys in our prayers. I recorded everything, even the bad days... because then I could look back and see how far I'd come. You're both amazing people, and we hope you get to come home to BC soon. <3

You are both an inspiration to anyone going through a life threatening situation! You have been so strong! Hugs for you both Aunty Donna
ReplyDeleteTracy, this blog is an inspiration no matter how long it takes for Steven to get out of hospital and no matter if all your posts are not super positive. Everything you both have done and are doing is an inspiration! Without the downs, there would be no ups. And if this journey was all positives, it would seem less realistic, less likely that someone else could hope to have success if they went through this.
ReplyDeleteAnd oh my goodness - NO CANCER!!!! How absolutely amazing is that!!! Am I mistaken in remembering that about a year ago some people believed you would never be able to say that???
You WILL get there! Steven will get out of hospital, you will all go home and you will all start moving forward from the past. Baby steps.
Chin up, you are all doing great!! No cancer - phenomenal!!
Hugs,
