We began preparations for Thusday's extreme radiation treatment last evening with increases in steroid dosages. This steroid is precautionary for the heavy radiation dose which will be administered this afternoon to control swelling. They do build up in the system, but last evening was unexpectedly restful until after the 3:00 am dose when the mind said it was getting up. We will work on some more rest today and preparation for the treatment.
We are full of great faith and optomism that this will allow a very positive outcome next week during the surgery to remove some that wouldn't have been possible without it. We do know that God is directing our medical professionals towards this path and we pray for them daily. They are absolutely wonderful and being directed for our good.

Mike,
ReplyDeleteGood Luck today, hard to take someone down that has the spirit and determination that you have. If this disease were a bully trying to get the best of you, by now they would be your best friend as you would have won them over with your determination and kindness. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers as you face these new challenges.
love,
Barb
