Hi all,

Just stopped in to give an update and little information on how we are doing.

Sorry I have not been active much lately, I have been working extra hours to pay off the medical, travel expense and another other related expenses with Kelly's cancer. Kelly is doing great, on our last visit to MD Anderson in December they did a needle biopsy on a spot in her neck they were concerned with. The results were good, no cancer cells found. They called it an over active lymph node due to the open space in her neck from the removal of the others. Her tongue is healing well with very slight speech issues and she does fine eating. March will be 1 year from diagnosis.


I finally turned a pen for a physical therapist the month of December, first one in many months. I am still working extra hours to pay off the bills, every 3 months we get a new set from MD Anderson for the follow up visits and for travel expenses. So I am not able to get much play time in the shop as well as my health has been poor this last month due to stress I am guessing.


Finally, we found out that Santa left us a present last month with a card saying do not open for 9 months. :bulgy-eyes::eek::biggrin: If she gives me any more excitement before the 1 yr mark on her cancer I am going to lose it. :wink: I will post when we find out what were having.


Monty thanks for reminding me I have not been around. I will try to do better.

Tom,

Good to see you and congrats!!!

You know, she is supposed to be resting right? :biggrin:

Not sure if this will help but I've read before that since her body goes into a production/repair/defense overdrive during pregnancy, it might help her recuperate. On the other hand, it can be taxing as well and if her system cannot handle it...the opposite may happen. So, make sure she gets a lot of rest, proper exercise and good nutrition.

Good luck!!!
 
Congrats on the good news about her health and your next present. Caretakers have a very high stress level and have to be very careful and take care of themselves also, which is hard to do considering the situation. I hope that your health gets better and continued good luck with the health news. See all of our prayers do help. :)
 
Tom,
Thanks for the update. Keep on keeping on. Good going Kelly, like the advertisement says, Yours is a life to be continued!
I can only say, Thank God,
Vern
 
That's great news. I would tell you to take a little time for R&R yourself, but it sounds like you already did that. :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
