Spinal Day ! August 1st
August 1st, 2008
Today was Tyler’s first spinal stem cell treatment, needless to say im a nervous wreck all day !!! I got up and felt great and we had bought more eggs yesterday to make a fried egg sandwich for breakfast. I went over & cooked us a couple & then scrambled one for tyler toput in his grits since he cant eat after 9:30 this morning. I took one bite of mine & just about threw up, the smells here are so horrible & they were really bothering me today…i coulndt eat one bite of it & had to throw it out. So i havent been able to eat today from being nauseated so bad from the smells here. I cant really describe it other than as ive said before…its sewer urine some weird spice & GARLIC all rolled into one.
Tyler had his spinal at about 3:30 pm and we went down to the OR about 5 til 4 & they were waking him up..so far he is fine..he is sleeping at the moment & has to lay flat on his back for 6 hrs !!! oh boy …im purely exhausted today from wrestling with him after they put his IV port in his head for the fluids he got. Before they put it in his foot & he was fine with it, but today they put it in his head & he doesnt like that dangling in his face pretty much. They do things so strange her compared to our american hospitals !!! I think they need to put it so that it goes over & behind his head then he wouldnt really know its there…but im not the medical person here…lol…well im off to sit & watch him..thats about all I can do at this point but he seems to be taking it well so far…as long as I can keep him still for the duration !!! will report back in later tonight as to what is going on !!! wish i could figure out how to add pics here..I think I will ask one of the other dads here to help me figure it out !!!
later
Tami the tired grandma !!!!!

I am so glad I finally found the Tyler blog! I have had you both on my mind so much! I’ve enjoyed reading about your adventures so far. China is really like a different world, it seems from what you write. It has to be hard on you and I know you must be exhausted- hang in there. It will all be worth it in the end, I hope and pray!

Tami,
I was so glad to you guys made it to China, sorry for the misplaced baggage. I do hope the return will be uneventful and Tyler could possably see what an airplane looks like. Give me a buzz or an email to keep me posted.

Hi Tami,
Patty sent everyone on the group the link to your blog. This is great – now we can keep up with you & Taylor in China. It is truly the Lord’s work that you are in China – finally and all of us with EMLA are praying for Tyler!!
God bless,
Nancy
