2nd Year Tests Done

We had the two year tests done today. Pretty much mostly blood work, chest x-ray and a pulmanary lung test done. The biggie was the bone marrow aspiration. He didn't get that, instead he(Dr. Vaughan) went into his chest to the sternum. Because of his coumadin level, they chose not to go into his back bone. Less chance of bleeding doing it in his sternum. Looked painful to me but he said it wasn't as bad. It took three times to get what he needed but he did not stop until he was satisfied. Kristina watched very closely as he did the procedure then offered her to do the next patient in line. She is very observant and knew all the medical termanology he used. Its "greek" to me! He has slept most of the day which is expected, they gave him some ativan and demerol. But who would want to stay awake while someone drilled three holes in their chest bone. I'm sure he will be sore tomorrow! Dr. V is supposed to read the tests results in the morning and I expect a phone call some time tomorrow. I will update after I get some results from the tests, just wanted you to know what was going on and keep praying the results are good! Hugs and kisses to you all! Alyce
