We have an official date for the first of a couple of radiology procedures.
Looks like we will be heading back to KC to Children's Mercy for a sclerosis procedure on June 16. We will stay 3 nights again at Ronald McDonald House and hopefully Greyson will not have to be admitted and will stay with us. He will have to be put out for the procedure to make sure he doesn't move and it will take a bit more than an hour. They will insert drain tubes for a couple of days and as soon as those are removed we will get to go home.
The doctor does not think that this will cause him pain since he won't be awake but the drain tubes and dressings will provide some challenges for a couple of days.
We hope that we will see results (shrinking a section under his arm) within a few weeks of the procedure but it could be as long as 10-12 weeks. The doctor thinks that he will wait to do the second round until 10 weeks after the first but that can all change depending on the results. Look for more updates that week.
We are going out for a walk now to enjoy the beautiful weather.
