Tracy is out of surgery. The surgeon said the procedure went well. He thinks that he got the tissue samples they need, and he is asking for the tissue to be processed on an expedited basis. I haven't seen Tracy yet, though.
Aside: The OR had a lot of emergency treatments today and got behind schedule. I swear we waited in the surgery bullpen for a longer period of time than the entire procedure. A few bays down, a guy completely lost it with the staff for not having his wife's surgery completed in a timely fashion. Making matters better, the surgeon refused to come talk to the guy b/c the delay was not the surgeon's fault. Ummmm ...... If you are the wife in that equation, don't you run for the hills? Who fights with their surgeon in advance of surgery? Nope

Hospice Update

It’s Kyle writing.  Tracy had a series of seizures on Saturday.  She was rushed to Massachusetts General Hospital.  Scans suggested that Tracy has leptomeningal disease, which means the cancer is in her cerebral spinal fluid.  She also has lesions in her frontal lobe, temporal lobe, and cerebellum.  The leptomeningal disease is the real issue, though.  The steps that could be taken to contain the cancer did not present quality of life for Tracy, and she continues to have seizures.  The decision was made to move her to hospice today.  Rest assured Tracy is being kept comfortable and surrounded by so much love.

Passing

Tracy Brown passed on from the material world today at 1:44 p.m.  She was surrounded by loved ones, including all of her children.   One of Tracy’s favorite pictures said, “Somewhere just out of sight, the unicorns are gathering.”  I (Kyle) bet Tracy is now gathering with them.  She could not have been more loved.
