Another Scan


On November 19th I had another PET/CT Scan.  I met with the Oncologist a few days later and she said that everything looks good. Things are shrinking, but I still have cells in my spleen that are lighting up on the scan.  I most likely will be finishing up the last 3 rounds of chemo, wait another 4 weeks and have another scan. At that time we should know if I need to have another form of chemo, radiation or even a bone marrow transplant.  I had chemo the day before Thanksgiving which is number 9 out of 12. I'm doing well and seem to be holding up ok.  This week we are going up to Huntsman Cancer Center for a second opinion.  

We had a nice Thanksgiving. This picture of me was taken on Thanksgiving. We went to my Aunt's house for dinner and it was very nice. Lilly got to meet some of her cousins she hadn't seen before.

Lilly is growing like a weed.  This week she has started scooting. She really likes my mom's watch and we put it on the carpet a couple feet away and she has been scooting to get it. She is now starting to scoot for toys as well. She has been up on her hands and knees and has been rocking back and forth for a while, but can't quite figure out how to make her arms and legs move at the same time. I have a feeling she will be crawling soon.  Presley is holding up well. He is continuing to have physical therapy on his shoulder and it seems to be getting better.  He will still be out of work for another few months. It looks like this surgery will set him back 4 months instead of 3 like we originally thought. He will be coming to Utah for Christmas which will be nice since we haven't seen him since September.

Halloween


We had fun for Halloween. I wasn't sure how I'd be feeling. Our neighbor was kind enough to purchase a little costume for Lilly and we went to visit Aunt Geraldine and Grandma. I've still been feeling pretty well. 




September 2012

September was a crazy month!  Presley came to visit and we had a nice time. We went to several doctors appointments while he was here. Presley had his gallbaldder out at the end of August and when he came to visit mid-Septmeber his should was still hurting. We found out that he obtained a labral tear when he had an MRI done, after the surgeon admitted the Hospital Staff may have accidently injured him during his gall bladder surgury. He had to have another surgery on his shoulder and start physical therapy and will be out of work for at least 3 months. While Presley was here we also took family photos.
