Things went well today. Dr. Hussain is the most excellent doctor! We are so thankful he was willing to do the biospy so quickly. It wasn't near as bad as I thought it would be, but it was quite interesting. The procedure was done in the clinic office and took about 20 minutes total. The area where the drill went in was frozen, but they can't freeze the bone, so there was a bit of pain when the Dr was taking the bone pieces. The drill (not a motorized one, all of it was done by hand), looks like the notched on in this picture.
Callum did quite well, but was pretty doped up for a while. After the biopsy he headed across the hall and had a blood transfusion of 2 units since his hemoglobin has been a bit low again.
He has spent quite a bit of the day sleeping and resting, and is starting to feel a bit more pain now that the freezing is gone and the heavy dose of pain meds has worked out of his system.
I am sure tomorrow will be better, even if he still has some pain.
We should have the results some time next week.
TTFN
