March 15th CT guided scan tumor biopsy

Today Ricki had a biopsy to make sure one of her tumors isn't becoming cancerous. She got to be one of the first patients in their new same day procedures facility. It was fun being in a room with all new things...so new neither the tv or the computer were properly hooked up and working. 

Once she had her IV in and was ready to go they let us walk down with her into the room where they would be doing the biopsy. It seemed fitting since she had just been to her first Jazz game to have the room all decorated with Jazz murals and memorabilia. It was comforting to be in there with the nurses, anesthesiologist and the dr performing  the biopsy. It was comforting knowing we were leaving her in good hands.  The procedure went well and took just over 2 hours.  Unfortunately however she woke up in a great deal of pain and after 31/2 hours was still experiencing some pretty intense pain.  They determined she would need to spend the night to get her pain under control. We ended up spending 2 nights and got her pain at least a little more manageable so we could take her home.  We were all very relived to be home after planning on only bring gone for a day:)
