The past couple of days have been great.
Michael's counts were up on Monday when we had labs drawn
and today was even better. In fact, he has had to
drop some potassium supplements due to his potassium over the range.
Good news, now he only has 32 pills a day to take
instead of 33. He takes 24 of the same medication per day.
Plus he takes a liquid four times a day (what they call
swish and swallow to coat his mouth and the lining of
his esophagus and intestines). He also washes his mouth
out with salt and soda(swish and spit) water four times
a day supposedly....that is one he tends to forget a lot
We have a PetCT scheduled at 6:00am in the morning
of his whole body and a CT Scan scheduled at 1:00 pm of
his chest, abdomen, and pelvis. WE ARE EXPECTING
MIRACLE TYPE NEWS from the oncologist
when we see him on Friday. Then we will be able
to tell him again what an AWESOME GOD we serve.
We will be leaving for the hospital about 4:45am
in the morning to get there on time. I will be working
on my computer from the hospital since I don't want
anyone to be mad at me for not sending them a water bill this month.
We met a young man today who has the same Cancer that
Michael has. He is from close to Bentonville, Arkansas
and has had Ewing Sarcoma three different times. It
is a cancer you have to keep a watch on. We had about
decided we were the only ones that was here with that
cancer at this time. He lost his right leg to the cancer
and walks with a prosthesis. He was such an inspiration
to Michael and I. He told Michael he could win this battle
as we already knew. Michael has lost another 8 lbs this
week. Doesn't he look good in the photo? This was taken
in front of the main building at the hospital/clinic.
Hopefully you will see some strange faces in Olney this
weekend..........you may have to introduce yourself.
Love,
Terri and Michael
