So Jen received some great news today, UCSF thinks that she is the 'perfect candidate' for the stomach pacer surgery. So now, FINALLY, we have some plan of action that doesn't extend so far beyond the horizon of 'at some point'.
They also informed us that a gastroectomy is a very bad option and should not be considered unless absolutely necessary. So...good thing we waited.
So, it goes like this. They will wait until Jen's fistula is working properly, and then they will remove the original dialysis port in her chest. Hopefully they will remove the fungal infection at that point if it is attached to the catheter line. After that, she will be transfered to UCSF for the pacer surgery. Following that, she should be able to come home.
Home? What's that??

Woohoo! That IS an UPdate!
Hey, when the day comes that y'all are ready to make it "home" again, do you want some help with fluffing up the house a little? I do windows and clean fridges! :-)
Hurray! Positive direction and...a plan! When you get the all-clear taking her home, can I offer my services as personal chef? Just tell me restrictions, and I can stock the fridge and freezer...
GREAT news. Does this mean she'll be transfered to UCSF soon? And is that the cat owned by the child-eating monster in Pan's Labyrinth?
Excellent! One step closer to getting you both up to Portland!I'm so glad that the plan we originally formulated almost a year ago is finally moving forward. Fingers crossed ... kak
I'M SO HAPPY!!!! Paul, that is great news. Yay! Yay! Can we have a welcome home party for her???
So many comments!
I think in order to get the house ready for Jen fire should be prescribed, and lots of it!
She should be transferred to UCSF within a few weeks. I think that the cat is the property of Jean-Pierre Jeunet. The child-eater would never allow photos of his beloved fluffy.
I'm all for moving to Portland, adn i think Jen is too. All that remains is the 'finding a good job there thing'.
Welcome home party would best be delivered NOT at our home...Unless you want cat hair in your punch.
Wow! That is the best news I read all day. Well that and the fungus being gone.
