Back in the old routine.....

So we are back at MDANderson's Er. The middle of the day is the time to come...there was no one here. We have a room in the er dept and the visitor chair is not too bad. So thats good for me. We are here for Jason to be evaluated for possible spinal cord compression. He has been having some pretty bad pain and a few other symptoms popped up so I went ahead and called the clinic today. I got the charge nurse..the same one who was not very helpful this past week became all kinds of helpful when I told her Jason's symptoms. She did a 3way call with Dr. Tannir's PA and Zita(said PA) told us to come to the ER for evaluation. So here we be. They have drawn blood, given him some steroids and painkillers, and he is currently stuck in a tube somewhere for an MRI. The best case senario if it turns out to be spinal cord compression is that its just swelling and irriation from the pelvis fracture and working on my car, worse case senario is tumors compressing the spinal cord. Either way we should know some more in a couple of hours. I will update again when we know. Prayers are welcome.
