another hospitalization

I'm sitting here by Daryl's bedside with the computer as my company. We are waiting for him to get an MRI under sedation. He is 3rd on the list. In the meantime, I was thinking that I could finally do this project. I started with facebook, but not intentionally at first... that sort of happened. I was checking into FB more to see if it was safe for Glory to use. And then it became my sound board, prayer request station... etc. Intentionally, I started carepages, to give the updates & prayer. Here is my intro there:

This was the picture that I used to show who he was. I thought it was cool that it showed about the hospital, UCSF. And this is the first intro I wrote there... Daryl's story... I love cut & paste
It started with a frontal headache which he got his eyes checked & new glasses, but that didn't help. So, was then diagnosed with a sinus infection but the headaches continued after 4 rounds of antibiotics. Finally, got an MRI & CAT scans done & that showed a mass, which no one would identify as being a growth or an infection. The local ENT sent us to the local Neurosurgeon & no one would claim him & so for awhile it seemed like we were being shuttled back & forth between them. Finally, our primary said enough, go to UCSF, & the eye doc who teaches at UC Berkeley said the same, that things moved quickly. On 2/20, he had a biopsy & resection performed by both Dr Aghi (neurosurgeon) & Dr El-Sayed (ENT). It was done nasally & they saw soft tissue growth that appeared cancerous. The first pathology report said undifferiated squamos cells. They were only able to remove 50% of the tumor because it lays on the Left optic nerve & carotid artery. The UCSF tumor board recommended radiation with minimal chemo. But after seeing the radiology Dr Yom, we made the decision to do chemo first to try to shrink the tumor before radiating. We didn't know at the time any of the "why's" & still don't for the most part, but we have gotten a glimpse of God's big picture. We have seen His timing as people like the Nightingales have been brought into our lives to strengthen & encourage us through this earthly battle. Our perspectives have changed concerning God's sovereignty. We are learning to consider it ALL joy.
