February 16 - 25, 2007

Have spent a total of 10 days in the ICU. We are not allowed to stay overnight there. Adrian's liver continues to bleed after the open biopsy surgery. The surgeon used the term "ice cream" to describe how fragile his liver tumor was when performing the surgery. They've given Adrian countless blood/platelet infusion but still couldn't stop bleeding. Finally Dr Chiang suggested to use a self-paid drug called NovoSeven. So the $20K drug did stop the bleeding and it's well worth it. First cycle of chemo started on Feb 16th which ran til the 23rd for a total of 8 days. It was sad to see there's so many lines/tubes going through Adrian this time and he can't live without Morphine not to mention eating or drinking. I'd never thought I'd wean him off Breastmilk this way.... how sad!
