We're home this morning. Chris's embolization procedure got canceled yesterday at, literally, the last minute. He was "suited" up, he had his IV and all the necessary infusions and he was sitting outside the procedure room when the doctor realized that his blood pressure was still too high. It would've been dangerous to do the procedure yesterday, so they sent us home. To say we're disappointed is an understatement, but we also don't want to do anything that would put Chris at risk.
Right now, we're hoping to re-schedule the procedure in a few weeks. We also have an appointment with a Dr. at Sloan-Kettering on March 4 to talk about how to get his BP down for good this time so that this doesn't happen again.
We thank all of you for your prayers and good wishes yesterday and all we can do is hope you'll offer them again when we re-schedule. We'll keep you all posted.

I am so sorry to hear that have to play the waiting game again, I can totally understand how frustrating that is. When you are dealing with cancer it seems that everything is "hurry up and wait". We will continue to keep you in our prayers.
