Thursday morning we got the bad news that the Ommaya was not located in the proper spot. So Tim was scheduled for a second surgery to reinstall the Ommaya. Unfortunately, they made this decision before Tim had breakfast. This meant that he didn't get breakfast, since they told us that he could be going into surgery as early as 3pm on Thursday, November 6. Tim was not a happy camper. Yesterday, he missed lunch and dinner because the Ommaya surgery wasn't completed until after the hospital kitchen closed for the night. He did have a cold turkey sandwich at 9PM, but that just doesn't satisfay if you haven't eaten all day.
This time the surgery was successful. And Tim was back in his hospital room before the kitchen closed for the night. But by that point, he'd been given a lot of medication on a very empty stomach. This made him too nauseous to eat dinner. Just one of life's little injustices in leukemia land.
