I got the hospital this morning around 7:30 and was happy to see Chris standing (and wearing pants!) when I got up to his room!
His blood pressure is stable (139/84) though they do have him on 400mg of BP medication 3x/day! They're hoping to start weaning him off of that today.
He's in some pain, but it's tolerable. He was also feeling a bit nauseous this morning, but an IV drip of Reglan quickly took care of that problem! We even walked the halls for a few minutes this morning!
Dr. G has stopped by already to say again how pleased he is with the results already. Every bit of tumor on the right side of his liver is dead! He said he just really couldn't be happier and that he wants to do the left side in 6 weeks or so if Chris is feeling up to it. He wants to get the left side done before it gets as out of hand as the right side was.
So, the goal today is to wean Chris down on the BP meds, wean him off the pain pump, get him eating and get him walking. If we can manage to do all of that than maybe we really can get out of here tomorrow!
We'll continue to keep everyone posted. Please continue to keep Chris in your prayers.

WHOA! Kristen! I don't check in for a few days and all heck breaks loose! That's usually the way it goes. ;-) I'm so glad the embolization was a success! YEAH! Will continue to pray for Chris, his recovery and his blood pressure--as well as you (I know how this wears on you!) and sweet little Shane. Please post when you can. Take care, and remember you are loved. - Hugs, K
