We woke at 4:30am for an early morning drive to Orlando, arriving just in time for our 8:30am appointment with Dr. Michael D. Sombeck at the Florida Hospital Gamma Knife Center. He discussed the Gamma Knife procedure with us and answered our questions and concerns. Afterwards, we had a tour of the control room and treatment room...
And then came the not-so-good-news. The nurse informed us that the Gamma Knife machine was currently offline - and that treatments scheduled throughout the week had been canceled until Wednesday. He is waiting for a replacement part, a "clutch" for the moving couch, that is shipping from Sweden. He was expecting a call later in the afternoon to say whether it made in on the flight today...
So we haven't heard any news from the nurse tonight - which we're taking as "no news, is good news." And now we're praying that the replacement part is on the airplane, that it will clear Customs on Monday, so the techs can service/test the machine on Tuesday, just in time for her treatment scheduled for Wednesday...
Five days and counting?
