Dinner out!!

I know this doesn't sound very exciting but it is to me. RD wanted to go out to eat this evening. Just went to a local place but it was so nice to to out with him. We have been out but it is either fast food or a birthday party, just a quiet dinner was so nice. When we got home he was so tired, so he went to bed early. He told me that he enjoyed the evening.

He sees the pulmonary doc tomorrow, we are hoping the doc can give some meds that will help with the emphysema. He takes breathing treatments 2x day and is on oxygen 24/7. We just hope there is more help!!

RD Update July 10, 2010

We were so excited last week because RD's blood count was 1We1.3 coming up from the last week from 10.8. Well, Thursday the count was back to 10.8.

We thought the food we were eating was helping but for our meals we still ate lots of green, leafy veggies and red meat for him, I'm not that fond of meat but love veggies. So, we'll keep eating a healthy diet and pray for good results.

RD Update

RD's blood count was 10.8 last week and this week it was 11.3!!!!!!!!!!!! We are so excited. The nurses had told him to eat lots of green leafy veggies and red meat and I've been pushing these for the past weeks. He likes it all, so that is a good thing!!

Brennan didn't come home with us. He wanted to stay home and play with his brothers and all their toys!!

Cannon

Cannon wanted to come stay overnight with Nanny & Poppa. His Mom & Dad brought him on Sunday and his Dad picked him up yesterday since he was in the area regarding his job. We had soooo much fun. He is really a good and sweet little guy...

Got my hair cut very short & colored today. I feel so much better. It is amazing how a new 'do' helps lift my spirit.

RD is having bloodwork tomorrow and a Procrit shot. Brennan is suppose to come home with us after the lab work, that is if he hasn't changed his mind, which he often does...LOL!!

RD Update

RD's bloodcount was 10.8, not very higher but at least it is going in the right direction.

RD Update

The CT showed that the tumor has decreased some. Called cardiologist and she increased his Lasix which has helped a lot with the swelling.

My brother took our family out last night and RD enjoyed it so much. He always takes us all out in June and that is his birthday dinner to us. After we ate we went to Danny & Debbie's for homemade ice cream and brownies. We enjoyed watching the grands play and swim.

RD's blood count is still going up, the Procrit and all the leafy green vegetables are helping. It was 10.7 last week, when his count reaches 12 the shots will be discontinued and he will be monitored monthly. Still short of breath but he can walk to the bathroom and to our bedroom now.
