Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2007Rob's Brain...Update. OT and not good
Rob's biopsy was the first scheduled procedure yesterday morning. The operation took almost four hours. The long and short of it is that some form of cancer is back. The neurosurgeon thinks it is as bad, (hopefully) or worse than what he had before. I figure that, since Dr Ewend is being assisted by an intern that looks like he's 15 and accepts me calling him Doogie (his real first name is Justin) and all the cats are purring for him, Rob has a good chance although he came out of the anethestic with some problems finding the words he wanted to say. LIke before the first operation. We're not worrying, right? Well, he didn't improve during the day and when we left for the motel yesterday afternoon, he was still having problems. Morning note. Rob's condition has deterioriated over night. He is not talking at all this morning, though he responds when you tell him to do something like open his eyes or take his medicines (laced with applesauce) I suggested that they use Gerbers Lamb with Rice, but Rob closed his eyes and the nurse said that she didn't think he'd fancy that. He tried to get out of bed to go to the bathroom while we were in there, so the nurse brought him a urinal. He didn't use it. Earlier they'd had to do a full bed change on him. They've done EEGs to see if he's having unseen siezures, EKG's to check his heart function, Xrays to check his bone matter, speach pathology to see if he can talk and how he is at eating soft foods, and are currently setting him up to go back to MRI to have his brain examined again. I want to cry. We have to turn in the rental van (we got a free triple upgrade) before Monday evening, so I will be able to keep it if I need to. I will have to update the insurance on it though. They may have our car ready today, and if that is the case, I'll trade the van for the car. Mike won't like it, but oh well. I'm coming back to be with Rob and I have to cut costs where I can. Please keep the purrs and prayers coming. I hate seeing him lay on the bed, so unresponsive and docile. I feel so alone. Pam S. Excuse me, while I hack up a hairball.

Oh hon. *Hugs*. There are so many purrs coming your way, if they were drops of water you'd be surfing by now. Shmogg is purring, Fluff is wagging and drooling,a nd even Cary sends hugs & kisses (they are exceptionally rare things) And whilst I know you *feel* alone, there are lots of people all over the world who are standing shoulder to shoulder with you in the power of purr. Don't give up. And if you need to talk to someone in the dead of night.. let me know, Ok? *Hugs*, *prayers*, *purrs*. Vicky Purrs and prayers and a lit candle to remind me to keep up the prayers. Praying for whatever is best for all concerned and for strength for you all. Cry when you need to as much as you need to. Its human, and your feelings are the greatest strength you have right now.

I know I don't post responses to all your messages, but you and Rob certainly have my sympathy. You have both been so brave through this long ordeal, we can all pray for another (and permanent) remission, however unlikely the medical professionals may believe it to be! > Rob's biopsy was the first scheduled procedure yesterday morning.

Keeping you and Rob in my thoughts. Ginger-lyn On Feb 17, 3:59 am, tan...@earthlink.net wrote: > Rob's biopsy was the first scheduled procedure yesterday morning.

But we are with you in our thoughts and keep Rob and you in our hearts. Purrs and hugs from Inge & Volker and the catgang SignatureCatManiacs World: http://www.gwsystems.com/inge (((((Pam))))) Our hopes, purrs, and purrayers are coming for you, Rob, and the kids. I hope they can come up with a treatment plan that can bring some relief. I have a close friend whose husband has just undergone gamma knife treatments in California and they are waiting to see what effect it will have. There's another treatment called tomotherapy (http://www.tomotherapy.com/patient/process/ )that he had earlier; don't know if that is an option for Rob or not either. Please know we are thinking of you all and sending you all our love and support. Christine and family > Rob's biopsy was the first scheduled procedure yesterday morning. The > operation took almost four hours. The long and short of it is that [quoted text clipped - 44 lines] > Excuse me, while I hack up a hairball. Now, what part of meow didn't > you understand? Pam - I wish there was something else I could do besides just send my best wishes and the fur kids purrs! My deepest sympathies for what you, Rob, and the rest of your family are having to deal with. I'll continue to hope that somehow things will turn around and improve for all of you. I'll go make sure I give lots of extra skritches to the Fairfax Fur Factory so they'll be in top purring form. If I do it right, I can even get Hazard and Katie to drool while they're purring, which amplifies the purring power a bit more (Tripper's just too hung up to drool...). Good thoughts, purrs, and anything else that might help - Chris, Tripper, Katie and Hazard > Rob's biopsy was the first scheduled procedure yesterday morning. The > operation took almost four hours.

Mega purrs for Rob to recover from the biopsy! And also, for them to be able to do something for the new growth. I can hardly imagine how it must be for you, Pam.

You're not totally alone, as you have us and a small army of purrers rooting for Rob. Although I imagine that feels like a feeble defense right now. May Rob pull through this yet again! And you too, of course. Melissa Pam, Rob and family, Purrs, prayers and doggie drool on the way. Also supporting energy for the family to deal with this.
