More to tell


Since my last entry, the dr has spoke with her dr at MD Anderson and he advised that she complete the radiation therapy here as long as she could. She had to do radiation this week and Friday morning will be her last. They have plans to fly out Friday afternoon to Houston and the dr there said he is ready for her whenever she makes it. They have discharged her from the hospital gain, and have found a house here in town from a church where they are staying and home health is coming to her. This way she can have the comforts of home, while still having the IV hooked up. Traveling back and forth everyday for radiation from their house in Dove Creek is just too far for her, and she gets very sick in the car. So staying close by is what is best for her. We still ask for everyone's thoughts and prayers to be coming this way. We will know more hopefully at the end of the week or first of next week.

As for my family, Thursday proved to be a trying day. Started out with me having pink eye, and then Preston called from work and apparently knocked himself out somehow and split his head open. He had to get stitches and has a concussion. He is better now. And then when the kids got home and out of the car, Lauren proceeded to slam her thumb in the car door. Jacob had to run over and open it back up so she could free herself. It is so nasty looking. I don't think it is broken, she is able to move it some, but it is very swollen and very black. My stomach just hurts every time I look at it. And for baby Will, he got off his 21 day antibiotic treatment on Wednesday, and lo and behold, Friday night and Saturday he was holding his right ear. I knew something must be wrong and so today when he woke up, it is now draining puss and blood from it. I will take him back to the dr tomorrow and wait to hear the verdict. Most likely we are looking at hospitalization and I will also see about a referral to some place that may have some idea what is causing this continual infection. I'll let you know tomorrow.
Jacob is the only well, unhurt person in the family right now. Who would have thought that would have been the case a few years back :)
As for tonight, I am making a special dinner for Preston's birthday for my family to come over, I can't believe he is 29!
