The last couple of days have not gone as anyone planned. Wilroy was to start radiation treatment after his "tattoo" appointment. But after looking at his films again. The radiation Dr wanted to discuss another plan of attack with Dr Mattern. She feels like the areas need to get Chemo before radiation and will discuss that with Dr Mattern on his return Tuesday from vacation.

This morning started on the right track but was quickly changed to another track. Wilroy had a lot of discomfort in his legs and lower back. We, also noticed the left hand and forearm with the picc in it was swollen. We called the Dr and were told to come in. The Dr filling in for Dr Mattern, after much discussion decided he needed to admit him to Riverside to get things back on track so he could start Chemo next week. Wilroy appears to have numerous blood clots in his legs and arm that they are concerned about. So, Wilroy is in Riverside hospital, Rm 411 until they can get his blood back on track. He's resting with some added pain meds and a shot every 12 hours to help thin his blood.
Thanks for all you prayers and concerns
