I've been so busy lately...I haven't blogged. The situation with my Mom is about the same. She is still taking Temodar therapy...5 days of the drug...then 23 days off. She didn't have a lot of side effects last time. She's still very weak and won't eat much. I haven't been out there for over a week because John was sick all last week. He was having excruciating pain in his jaw clear back to his ear. The doctors were baffled and thought it might be Bell's Palsy or trigeminal neuralgia. They treated him with prednisone, neurotan and vicodin. They helped dull the pain but we still didn't know what was causing it. After a week they ordered a CT scan and it was normal so Dr. Frankenfield put him on a strong antibiotic as a last resort. The next day his upper gum had a huge swollen spot on it that subsequently burst and started draining pus. He went back to the doctor today and they've decided it was an abscess of something...not sure what! He's feeling 100% better and is only taking the steroid and antibiotic. What an ordeal for him! It was really scary not knowing what was causing the pain. I'm so grateful to all our friends and family who were praying for him!
Molly, Myron and Betsy are coming to visit this Friday and are staying a week! It will be so great to see them again. We've been hearing from Joel that Wendy is doing well in the first trimester of her pregnancy and has only been sick once that we've heard. She's flying to Disneyland tomorrow with a group from her church for a Children's Ministry Seminar! So Joel will be "batching it" with the puppies. He's pretty happy about the Colts victory too! That's about all the news for now.
