From Robert James Lindgren Jr.:

This is a photo of my Dad relaxing on the hood of our used 1960 Ford station wagon that we took on a cross-country trip to meet up with my Mom and include her on the trip back home from NAEYC - National Association for the Education of Young Children a professional organization meeting that she attended back East. We had a mini swamp cooler in the car to keep things comfortable as air conditioning at the time was out of the question.

During the trip Dad and I stopped-in to visit Onondaga Caves, as well we enjoyed a steak in Joplin, MO where had previously visited in the old days. The food was great!

Lindgren Family - Brian Lindgren - 6 June 2019 Our DDay - page 60

Around 2-4 a.m., I talked with Brian's RN on Neuro - Russ. I have known him for numerous years and I believe he is highly competent and knew what to expect and take care of anything that one of patient's might throw at him.

Apparently around 0230 Brian had gone into a heart rate of 170 plus or minus. They had worked with him and eventually gotten him down to his now normal rate of 120 - 130 beats per minute.
He called me after that and told me what had been going on. I thanked him and we hung up.

About 30 minutes after his phone call, I called Russ back. I told him that if we were going down a "cardiac route" I wanted Dr. Fluture to take care of Brian. (I go to Dr. Pickrell who is a wonderful cardiac MD and wouldn't trade him for the world. Dr. Fluture is all of that and an Interventionalist Cardiologist meaning he can place stents and perform TAVRs [Trans Aortic Valve Replacements]).

At about 0645, I received another call from Russ. All he said was "We are coding him right now." I asked what room in ICU and he said he would let me know. I got dressed and tried to get ahold of Andrew, who had worked that night. The phone kept going to the answering machine. I then tried to call Michelle across the street. Her phone went to the answering machine. I tried to call Mike and his phone went to answering machine. By that time I had gotten into the car and was driving down the street, very conscious of my speed and stopped at all stop signs, and didn't run any traffic lights. I called Tana. She answered and said that she would meet me at the hospital.

I went to Andrew's which was literally, 3 houses away from the hospital. I banged my fist on the door and woke him up telling him, "We need to go to the hospital right now!"

He got dressed and we drove to the hospital parking in the new employee parking, then walked very quickly up to the elevator to take us to ICU.

We waited for Dr. Akiode to come out and talk with us and that Brian was vented and wouldn't be talking to us. He was still under meds that wouldn't let him wake up for now.

The picture above is actually a still of when Brian was extubated 8 days after being vented.

We spent the night in the Emergency Department. After some testing Dr. came in and said that Brian could go home or stay. We told him that we had been talking, and that we should tell him that his double vision had been acting up lately. We told him he had been to the Dr. Dodds the Ophthamologist, and he had told us to come back if the double vision got worse - which it hadn't.

So Brian ended up with a CT scan of his head. The doc came in and

said something to the effect "You aren't going anywhere. I am canceling your discharge! You've a left cerebral infarct! I'm admitting you to neuro!"

Brian said "what is that!" I said "You had a stroke!" I stayed with Brian until he got into his room. I really don't even remember driving home.

I went to work the next day and checked on Brian before, during and after. The picture to the right is how I found him on Wednesday the 5th. [He actually had a much redder face than the picture shows.] I told my friend Tamara the Manager of Neuro, "I am this close to calling a Code H."[That code means everyone pertinent in the hospital - including lap ect... - come to this room now before this patient codes!"]

I went back to work and told everyone what was going on. So I clocked out and went back to Brian's room. I got there as the hospitalist was leaving and talking with someone. He then got on the phone.

Dr. Dowell's Nurse Practitioner came in and interviewed Brian and I for about a half hour. Then Dr. Dowell came in. He is an excellent Infectious Disease physician. He interviewed us both - he is so awesome. After 30 minutes plus, he said that he had a couple of ideas and wanted to run them by Dr. Akiode. Dr. Akiode was the Intensivist Pulmonologist who had order antibiotics for Brian thinking he might be developing early pneumonia.

I had left when Dr. Akiode had come by but Andrew was there. He had her write Brian's new "working diagnosis" on the white board: "Myasthenia Gravis".

Dr. Wheeler's "student" came in next and did a bunch of neuro tests on Brian. The next MD who came in and talked with us was Dr. Wheeler. He repeated the tests the student had just performed to see for himself. I had read up on Myasthenia Gravis, so I had an idea as to what he was doing. He told us that they would do blood tests on Brian, but he, Wheeler was sure that Brian was positive for MG.

He added that the remedy - not cure - for MG was ImmunoGlobulin intravenously. The infusion would be over 8 hours and the hospital had none of it on hand. And it was very expensive. [I do not know how many liters is typically given a patient for treatment of various diseases, but a year supply costs $50,000.00 to $100,000.00.] Brian ended up with 8 liters - 1 a day.

Brian's would be on 6 June. By the way - not only is June 6 the anniversary of D-Day, but it is also Brian's mother's birthday.

Lindgren Family - Brian Carl Lindgren - page 58

This picture was taken at Robert and Emma's condo in Salt Lake City. It was a birthday celebration for Robert. That's Robert's Horizon Pilot's cap. We had come over for Robert's birthday, but it also coincided with Emma's grandfather's, "Papa", memorial service. It was a great party with lots of remembering. I wish I could remember even 2 stories about him! Brian seemed to enjoy himself and the food!
This night Emma, Robert, Bret, Tawnya, Bailey and Alex were there. everyone seemed to get along well and have a good time.

The next day as we were packing and Brian was complaining feeling so tired. He could only compare his fatigue to when he had poured concrete at the Montessori School in Santa Maria.

I told him not to worry and I would take care of the packing and loading of the car. I believe I drove east past Rock Springs. Brian took over and unfortunately a nasty hail storm hit. Our windshield wasn't clean so the windshield was a terrible mess that you could hardly see through. Between those two occurrences, Brian's double vision also came back. We changed drivers again and I drove the rest of the way home.

Once home Brian said again/still "I am so tired." I told him not to worry I would do the unpacking.

I realized I had no way to measure his oxygen levels so I went to Walmart and bought a pulse oximeter. When I got home his oxygen saturation was 90%, which I didn't like.

I decided to unpack the CPAP and hook it up to the concentrator. I had to have Brian help me with the CPAP hook up. Either because I tried to do the hookup and Brian then realized that I needed help doing it.

After 30 minutes I think he was feeling better and his "sats" were at 92-94%. I went to finish unpacking.

Because I was still unpacking the car and having problems with our SleepNumber bed, I didn't get back out to the living room until 8:30p.m.

When I go to the living room Brian was "laying" across the couch saying "I don't feel good." He didn't look good and he didn't have any oxygen on. I hung his finger out and got 87%.

I decided to call RMOC and talked to the on-call nurse. I think it was Joanne who told me she was concerned that he was developing a pulmonary embolism, and that he needed to go to the hospital. We made sure he had his I.D. and I dropped him off at the front door of WMC at 10:30 p.m..

Two weeks after Brian's surgery he had a port put into his left upper

chest. The idea was so that he could have chemotherapy through the port and save his arm veins for other meds. He was to start Keytruda chemotherapy 2 weeks after the port insertion. Dr. Bowe put it in. I had decided that he would be Brian's other surgeon-and guess what. His wife told him they were moving to Seattle so she and her friends could see each other more often. He returns to Casper for his residency in Surgical ICU Intensivist.

What is nice is that he goes to the "clinic" area of Rocky Mountain Oncology Casper on east 2nd street. We also have his chemotherapy meds sent there.

This is Dr. Rosen, Brian's Oncologist. Linda, our secretary at work, had taken her husband to Dr. Rosen and they thought he was wonderful - and guess what he is! And so is his staff! This picture was taken a few years ago-he is a little bit more grey. He also performs at "Stage 3", here in Casper.

This is Dr. Purviance. He is Brian's Radiation Oncologist. He is brilliant! And so competent. He and Dr. Rosen are so kind and considerate. We are very lucky to have such a team. The picture must have been taken during the winter as Casper Mountain has some snow on it. It also looks like it was a windy day! Which in Casper isn't unusual - of course it depends where you are in relationship with the mountain.

Both of these pictures were posted on: Rocky Mountain Oncology Comprehensive Cancer Care - Rocky Mountain Oncology Center

Brian had been complaining about having right lower abdominal discomfort for maybe a month. It was so low in his abdomen I was wondering if he had a nasty appendix stuck somewhere where it shouldn't be. I even looked it up and that could be the case.

Anyway I sent him to the outpatient Clinic at Mesa and they sent him to the Emergency Department at Wyoming Medical Center. He was seen by Dr. Johnna Cubin who immediately ordered a CT scan of his abdomen.

Brian called me at my office and said "you need to come over here now. Dr. Cubin has got the results of the x-ray. You need to come here now!" I was there in less than 5 minutes.

Dr. Cubin took us out to a computer in the main common room. I looked at the computer screen and something like: "I see the right kidney but what's that?"

Dr. Cubin said "That's a Renal Cell Carcinoma, and Dr. Jones [urology] wants to see you as soon as possible next week."

And that is what we did........

So, if you look at the picture, the tumor is in the lower left, middle half of the picture. You can even see the right ureteral artery going to the aorta.

The left kidney is in the lower left kidney in the lower right middle of the picture. That is the size the right kidney should be. The tumor is 151 mm in length from left to right.

The scan to the right shows is as if the camera is looking up from Brian's feet. You can see the left kidney much better.

That night I went on the Internet and looked up as much as I could find about Renal Cell Carcinoma. I could tell by the measurements in the first CT scan that this was not a Stage 3 cancer.

Lindgren Family - Brian Carl Lindgren - April 2019 - page 55

This is the room and equipment that Brian had his April 2019 Kidney surgery in. He was wheeled in on a card with a hospital gown and paper hat on. Dr. John P[aul]. Jones did the surgical procedure. Dr. Chenowith was the anesthesiologist. There was one circulator RN and another who had scrubbed in the case and would help Dr Jones with the procedure itself.

When Brian had been under anesthesia and sleeping on the table, The MDs said that they could see the bump under his skin where the tumor was growing. Brian already had his CT scans so Dr. Jones knew exactly where they needed to "cut".

What they really did not realize was exactly how the tumor was. Brian has an incision just under 10 inches long on his lower right abdomen. At one point Dr. Jones asked for the obstetrical forceps because neither alone, nor with Dr. Chenowith's help could he get the tumor out. The finally got it out without the forceps but with a lot of pulling.

This picture is of the station where the operator of the "daVinci XL [robot]", Dr. Jones, sits and makes 5 to 6 small abdominal incisions to detach the tumor from it's anchors in the abdomen, as well as detaching the kidney that was within/encapsulated the tumor. He also lost the Adrenal gland that sits on top of the kidney.

After the tumor and kidney was free of its attachments, the incision was made to remove the kidney from Brian's abdomen. As described above, it took some work to get the tumor out. I asked Dr. Jones what it looked like. He said it was yellow - and big. He also said that this was the average sized tumor that was found before CT scans.

Brian spent 2 miserable nights in a private room, not far from the nurses station. What we didn't realize was that his Myasthenia Gravis was making it had for him to breath. Once he was diagnosed with the MG in June of 2019, his discomfort made a lot of sense.
