Today David had a 6 week since they changed his dosage appointment. He only had blood work (9:30am) and a Dr. visit (11:30am).
Yea! He is doing great! Thyroid function good. Kidney function good. Gastrointestinal problems under control. No feet pain. Appetite good. 10 pound weight gain. Yea yea yea!
Thank you God and thank you for praying!
The ONLY concern today is his blood pressure, which is up. So they have changed those meds. The Dr. feels confident it will lower his bp.
So we go back in 6 weeks for another scan. As long as the scan shows no progression, he will receive another vaccine. And we won't have to go back for 12 weeks! Now. Every time I say blah blah 12 weeks, something happens and we have to go back in 6 instead. So, shhhhh. Don't tell that I said it!
Please continue to pray that:
1. the increase in meds gets the bp under control
2. The rest of the side effects stay away
3. No progression!!!
The Dr. was interested in David's horse and riding etc, so they had some nice shop talk. We all hugged and wished each other Merry Christmas. We were on the way home by 2:00!
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Meredith has talked me into a new cat. She's a sweetie. Her name is Millie. Marcey (the dog) wants to smell her. Cutty (the other cat), wants to kill her. Fun times. Also, Abigail just finished her first semester at Texas State! Here are some pics for your viewing pleasure!
We wish you a wonderful season celebrating the birth of Jesus. And some Santa fun too!
Please continue to lift up Greg, Mary, Ty, Laura's mom, and Holli. Stupid cancer.
And a dear family, James, Cheryl, and Emily.
Thank you for loving us!
