Jack in the Hospital
I need to make this short and sweet. I took Jack to the ER last night at Abilene Regional because he has lost the ability to move the left side of his face. He had been sick and nauseated all day, don't know if that was tumor related or a virus. Last night about 9pm Rob and I noticed that Jack's face wasn't working properly. After calling several doctors to find out what they wanted us to do, we took him to the ER. I was afraid to drive him to Dallas with him being so sick to his stomach.
He had an MRI and CAT scan last night at ARMC. All of this is probably due to the pressure on his brain stem from the cerebral swelling from the Gamma Knife Radiation.
The ambulance will transport him from Abilene to Dallas Children's and we will be there for several days where he will be on high doses of steroids to shrink the swelling in his brain. There is a computer at the hospital so I will try and update daily to let you know what is going on.
Please pray for a safe trip to Dallas today and for Jack to be mended quickly. Thanks ahead of time for remembering Jack and our family in your daily prayers.
Love, Tammy
