She was wheeled in sharp from her bed again @ 0745 hrs. I slept rather uncomfortably the whole night as I was half sharing the tiny bed with her...didn't want to make too much noise as this was a C class ward with 6 other patients. Thank God later she will be moved to the isolation ward just a few doors down the corridor.
0830 hrs - After being sponged she was dressed and sent to the operating theatre once again.
12 noon - Wheeled out after 3.5 excruciating hours.
Thank goodness I bumped into Audrey (SG friend) who was the radiographer involved with Prof Wang in Jo's procedure this morning, how coincidental can you get?
She informed me that there was no major complications just that instead of using the same puncture opening on Tuesday, doc had decided to use the neck/chest artery instead as it was a more convenient route to reach the liver area as from Jo's left thigh. A cathether balloon was made to ensure the artery to the lung was blocked for that duration to ensure no Y90 material flowed that way. Prof Wang wanted to ensure a very slow delivery of the Y90 to minimise any possible side effects and risk.
So up till this point now. Jo has vomited about 3 times, still feeling nauseas and lack of appetite.
Thank you for your prayer support in this area. Doc said that she may remain nauseas for the next 48 hrs as the Y90 destroys the tumour and the only way to get rid of this is via vomiting. She's only had some juice, a little soup and a fraction of an apple.
I can only thank God for a smooth operation, that was really all that mattered. Amen again to our Almighty Father!
Okay, have to run back to the hospital now. God Bless to all!
