We're back in the hospital room after his spinal tap. He has to lay flat for about 4 hours so the insertion area can close so he doesn't leak spinal fluid. We should be able to leave at 1:30 as long as his vitals are fine and he doesn't develop side effects (headaches other than the headaches he already has).
To give people an idea of his routine now he mostly stays in bed all day. He has absolutely no energy and the most activity he's capable of is leaving the house for procedures. The approximately 10 cm mass on his throat will not go away until he has chemo so swallowing is very difficult and painful. The mass is pressing into his larynx so his voice goes in and out.
The tests he has Monday afternoon (CT and MUGA scans) are painless but tedious.
