Don’t call it a comeback, ‘cause Craig’s been here for years …

And back to the hospital we go.  Craig’s been admitted to the hospital again…surprise, surprise.  This was our longest run out of the hospital since February!  Whewhoo.  Like I told C, it’s always nice to see old friends. 

So why the pause for the cause?  Well, hHis x-rays came back and there appears to be a problem spot on the left side, which may be either a bleed, or a small bowel obstruction.  Old SBO again.  It’s like a bad version of Halloween.  Just when you thinks he’s dead, whammo, the familiar duh, duh, duh.  Where’s Jamie Lee Curtis when you need her?  I have the feeling that little SBO didn’t take the ‘we can’t see you so you’re not there’ lightly.  Seems he’s been lifting weights these past few weeks, bulking up for the next coming.  And sure enough, he may now be in a position to make his presence known.  If that’s the case, surgery may be in order, but first, the much awaited CAT scan.  Last week, we received mom’s MRI results (and I’d say not bad given the circumstances).  Now it's Craig's turn. It’s still early in the game, so this would simply be a preliminary reading of Torisel’s effectiveness.  We really won’t know how well it’s doing until after eight treatments or so (Craig just had his 5^th).  If the tumors have reduced, then great, we’re off to a good start.  If not, well, we still have a few weeks ahead.  Just wish ol’ SBO could take a hint.  Skat cat, you’ve had your place in the sun.  -- J
