Mathew's 3 Lumen Pic Line was replaced with a Power P.A.C. Both Mathew and I were given Medical I.D. cards to carry at all times.
I have mentioned before that texting from the DRC is almost impossible. The staff told me it used to be the X-ray department so the walls are leaded. Again, the phone tree would have helped so much. I texted the following information to my niece, my sister and Mathew’s Dad and Stepmom. And probably Joseph and Carlos. I know that could have been reduced to two texts, three at the most. At the time I didn’t know about group messaging as my phone was an old Android.
Texts Between me and Diane
Hi. We are at the hospital early
because Mat is in a lot of pain.
We think the bill stent may have moved.

Because he was NPO for other
procedure they should be able
to fix today.

In the DRC sending texts is almost
impossible so if you don’t hear from
me for a while don’t worry.
If any big problems I will call.

Oh no! Ok please do!
Tell him we love him.

Getting him ready. Going to
put the port in first and then
will ck the placement of
the stent.

Holding off on admitting.
Assuming stent just needs
to be repositioned.

I’m praying that’s all it is.
Wow. Chemo is working
since Bilirubin is so low!
Thank you Jesus.
Thanks for keeping me
posted.
So sorry you are having
to deal w/so much of this
on your own. A lonely and
difficult position to be in I
know. ((hugs))

Thanks Diane.
I think he’s going to
surprise the doctors. I feel
like I did when I was pregnant.
Holding my breath and waiting.
Wondering if I will have 1 boy or
2 and will they be healthy.

Absolutely. We need to keep
it that way. This is
a group effort.
