Good News and Bad News

Well we waited ALL day for CT results from the doctor
yesterday.

The good news?   It was Kyle's birthday.

The bad news?  He kind of felt like crap.

The good news?  He went to breakfast and lunch with some
                people he adores and ate and had good conversation.

The bad news?   He had to come home and take lots of naps.

The good news?  He kept calling and emailing waiting for test 
                 results.

The bad news?   None by 5 pm when the Doctor office closed.

The good news?  Someone finally called at 6:30 pm to tell him
                 the CT had STILL NOT been read!!!! (UGH)
                BUT, they ascites lab results were back and 
                 THERE IS NO INFECTION OF CANCER CELLS in that.
                 (so no cancer spread!!!!!!)

The bad news?   His belly has already RE-filled with fluid and
                he's miserable...besides the fact he has a 
                 Semi-truck sized bruise on the side of his
                 belly from having it drained two days ago.
                 AND he just finished chemo and feels crappy 
                 from that AND he had one more complication
                 I won't publish on the blog that we thought
                 would send us to the ER last night.  The
                 doctor told us to wait 24 hours and see what's
                 going on.  AND he had his neulasta shot (so like
                 Harry Potter "skela-grow" where his bones
                 ache and ache.  
                 Basically, he's a mess.

The good news?   He's not dead yet, even though he feels like death.

The bad news?     Now we wait until Monday for all results. I'm 
                  guessing he's headed BACK up to Huntsman for more
                  draining. (well, that's a certainty.)  And who
                   knows what else.


The good news?   That's what we have for today.  Or is that the
                 bad news?  I'm not sure anymore.

The good news?   I have another blog post that I wrote today--
                 go to the next page to read more.
                  Or maybe that's bad news too.
