Sorry everyone! I know I am not so good at keeping this blog updated. Anyway, since my last chemo treatment my body recovered quickly. The chemo drugs did not seem to affect me as much as I thought they would. I had two or three rough days and then I started to regain my energy and back to taking care of the kids and life. I was scheduled for my last chemo treatment on November 4th and looking forward to it. It didn't happen!! Yep, my ANC level was low and so chemo was rescheduled for the next Monday. I am getting used to rescheduling and just rolling with it. I have decided that when it does not happen when scheduled that I better hold on because something ends up happening and I say to myself "thank goodness I did not have chemo." Well again my ANC went down and so no chemo but this time a bone marrow biopsy was ordered if there was no improvement. I went this past Monday and again the ANC was down so I had my biopsy yesterday. It went very smoothly and results should be back in a week.
In the middle of all this my little 2 year old son was diagnosed with glaucoma in both eyes. Yikes! The doctors wanted him at PCMC the next day for an examination and possible surgery. This was all very overwhelming to say the least. When it rains it pores right!! The doctors decided to hold off on surgery and prescribed three medications to help decrease the amount of fluid his eye is making and decrease the pressure. It is working. What a blessing. It is obvious that he can see a little bit better. He is scheduled for another examination tomorrow and I am anxious to hear how effective the meds were and what we can do next to help this precious little boy see past arms length.
I am so grateful for doctors and medicine that can help us! So grateful for Huntsman and PCMC and that they are so close to our home. The doctors and staff have blessed me and my family.
My heart has been so touched by the prayers and support that continue for my family. I could not do this without all your love. Thank You!!!!
I hope things are getting better for you boy. So sorry to hear that you are going through so much. You are a toughy...wether you ever knew that or not! God loves you and is there for you. Have a Merry Christmas and hope to hear an update soon.
