Daniel has been admitted to the Oncology Ward -- the ER nurse was saying they expected him to have to sleep in the ER overnight, so this is a huge answer to prayer! The Oncology nurses know how to help him sleep and manage his pain longer term so that is our goal.
The feeding tube, PET scan, and pre-radiation dental check have all been ordered, though we don't know when they'll be. The latter two need to happen soon so the oncologist will be able to plan Daniel's cancer treatment when we have our appt with her next Thursday, I believe. Please pray that these tests happen quickly and that the dentist could possibly come to Daniel instead of us having to go to Surrey, and that we could have an ambulance transfer down to Vancouver for the PET scan -- both tests would just be so much more taxing on his system if we had to make our own way there.
So, I'm home now while Daniel is being taken good care of. The tentative plan is for Daniel to concentrate on sleeping and getting his strength back. So no visitors please. Even I'm planning on staying home tomorrow to rest and try and give the kids a more normal day. Unless Daniel needs me, that's the plan.
While writing this update even, Daniel has been texting me, so we'll be in close contact. He was actually able to eat something! Here is his photo he sent. He had some yogurt and applesauce -- chef that he is, he's been longing all day to eat something. He seems in higher spirits -- thank you for your continued prayers!
