Embolization Is A Go!

We got word yesterday that Chris is in fact a candidate for the hepatic embolization procedure - this is fantastic news!

The procedure is scheduled for Wednesday, February 25 at Sloan. He'll spend a few days in the hospital and will hopefully be coming home sometime that weekend.

Fingers crossed that things continue to go well and that the good news keeps on coming!

Dr. Meng also gave Chris a prescription for anti-nasuea medication when we were there on Wednesday, which seems to be helping a bit with all of his stomach discomfort! More good news, but we're going to continue holding out until he's completely pain free before we start throwing our hats up in the air!!

What a difference a week can make . . .

Great news O'Connor Family! I was praying Chris would be a candidate for the procedure. Had seen a tv program about it - very positive results. Love & thoughts to all. Aunt Mary (Buffalo Grove)

Awww, go on, throw that hat! Congrats on all the good news. We'll start praying for the 25th procedure to be super successful! So glad his stomach issues are getting addressed, too. Hang in there! Hugs - K
