The Shot

Today Phil got another injection.
It wasn't the Splanchnic Neurotomy like we thought it would be. It was another Celiac Plexus, like last time. Only this time, we had a chance to sit down with the doctor before hand and explained what happened last time and he gave us possible explanations of why it didn't work like it was supposed to. So this time, they came up with a different tactic. Shoot the left side then shoot the right side.
This means, that they actually shot him 5 times in the back with whatever nerve blocker they use. And this should *crossing fingers* last a full two months again.
If it doesn't work, or it doesn't last as long as it should, then they will go in and burn (with heat) the nerves so the nerves will essentially die off.

I am incredibly shocked out sick Phil has been. Throwing up at least 3 times a week (at least), his color is sheet white most of the time, including his hands. His eyes are purple, he looks like he doesn't sleep, he looks malnourished, just by the color of his skin. He has been looking a little better the last two days.

We are hoping for the best!
Actually while we hope for the best, we keep our goals low, like get out of bed for x number of hours get x, y,z done and if its a really good day, the goal is not to take a nap.
