Tony is being transported to Huntington Hospital as I write this. Tony will spend the next 12 days in the rehabilitation unit and work with the physical and occupational therapists. Tony is happy that he has pain in his left bicep, as he has had no sensation in that area since he woke up in ICU. We think maybe his nerves are beginning to regenerate. We also take this as a sign, that the chemotherapy is working and destroying the cancer cells that have seized Tony's arm and leg.
Tony now weighs 177 pounds and continues to have a healthy appetite. Patrice will meet the ambulance at Huntington Hospital this afternoon with a #2 meal (with chocolate shake) from In-N-Out.
Just before Tony left UCLA today, the Head and Neck Specialist injected collagen into Tony's left vocal cord, closing it up enough so that Tony can sip regular liquids. His voice is almost back to normal. It may take more collagen injections before Tony's vocal cord is fully functioning.
We have seen many, many, affirmative answers to prayer, and many small and large miracles. We may write a book when this is all over!
Giving thanks today, for all the prayers that have been prayed on Tony's behalf.
The prayers are constant on our end!
