Im Sorry, Can You Push That Button Again?

I had a blog all thought out! I was going to write about something that happened on Friday. But our adventure last night has changed that! So here goes!

Took John to the ER last night because his head and neck were hurting. He had a pimple he had picked at, so I knew it was infected and needed to be drained. When we got there and he was triaged, his blood pressure was dangersouly high. Like stroke zone high. So they started an iv, gave him antiboitics and some blood pressure medicine. They said the abcess on his head was infected, and that the infection could go to his brain. Then his labs came back and said his kidneys were showing some damage. We now have to do some follow ups. And major lifestyle changes. I know it will be a bumpy road, but hopefully we get it all worked out!

Best Text Message Ever

Dad and I text each other or email quite frequently. Its just easier for us to communicate that way since hes been sick and had some slight speech problems. So this afternoon I got a text from him. Nothing unusual....Except what it said. All biopsies are clear!!!! That means there is no cancer! The PET and the MRI were wrong. What they showed was the inflammation that has been causing the bleeding for his last surgery sight. Praise the Lord!! Don't know what the game plan is going to be yet but will update when I do know!

Thanks to everyone for all the thoughts and prayers!

Overwhelmed.....

With joy. And thankfulness. Yesterday I went with my dad to get his PET scan done. They inject him with dye and let it circulate his blood stream, then the scan him to see if the cancer is there. If it does, it turns green on the screen.The results came back today. Well guess what, ITS NOT THERE!!! ITS GONE! They still want him to do a round of chemo and radiation as a precaution. But its gone! I pray it stays like that. Thanks to everyone for all the prayers!

The Last Two Days....

Have been rough. My diabetes has been acting up. My levels have gone all the way up to 188 and been as low as 76. And it did this constantly through out Monday. It was no fun. Then yesterday I felt like crap from being so drained from the fluctuations all day. I called my doctor and she said to keep monitoring and if it happened again in the three days then I needed to come in. And that I needed to keep monitoring for the next week and call and let them know how I was. Yesterday wasn't so bad. My numbers stayed where they should have.So hopefully it continues to stay that way!

Weekend Adventures

We had a lovely weekend. Can you note the sarcasim in my voice? It was not lovely at all! I spent the day in the ER with Sara. It started out as a great weekend. We got up and went to 4-H Project Day and then to an Easter egg hunt. After all this we went home and had some down time. After awhile, Sara started having belly pain. It became really bad. So we made the decision to take her to the ER. After blood tests, x-rays and sonograms we really didnt find out anything. The doctors do think that her intestines are folding over themselves. So now we have to play the wait and see game. Grrrrrrr! Other then that Sara is doing great! She came home with a blanket, teddy bear and stuffed jaguar.

Still Sick

Finally got in to the doctors on Saturday. All this started from my allergies which gave me an asthma attack. Ive never had one like this before and apparently it was pretty bad. She said I was barely moving any air. So I came home with 6 different meds to take. Oh what fun! I go back Friday so hopefully I want have to take all these all the time. I also want to be better for Easter! Thats about all for now. When I feel better I will be back.
