Layne was in the hospital from Monday to Wednesday (May 11-13). On Sunday he had some pain and wondered if he should go into the ER. The decision was made to contact the on call oncologist. He made it through the night and then on Monday realized he needed to go in. The oncologist's assistant (Cami) arranged for him to go to the Acute Care Clinic there at Huntsman. As soon as we got to the room they started working with him on pain management. They did some tests and decided that he needed to stay the night. Apparently, the tumors were blocking the the proper function of the organs in the abdominal area. The next day they did a procedure to place a stent between his right kidney and the bladder. They also used several strategies to help empty the intestines. On Wednesday, he was given two units of blood and was able to come home.
