Sam Update Thursday July 13, 2006

Yesterday was a quite day. Things are trying to go back to our normal flow. Karla came to visit in the morning, and Josh in the afternoon. For supper Morris and Nancy took us to our favorite Mexican restaurant, it’s at the corner of 436 and 434. Micky and Nancy’s family came to see us at the restaurant for a few minutes. Micky brought us some video to watch. Then when it was time to go Sam went with Ivar for Donnie’s house. Donnie is moving to Tennessee today.

We got a call from the home care nurse as well, she said that if we had any questions about things that were going on she would be able to answer then or find someone that would be able to do that.

Today is the day that the Doctors will meet to decide what the next step will be with Sam’s treatment.

Rhonda Called the Doctor this afternoon about 4:30. Dr. P is still out of town but Dr. O went to the meeting this morning. The have decided that the best course of action following the first surgery is to have a follow up MRI in six weeks. For the second spot in the back of the brain they feel that it is sufficiently different that it is not the same type of tumor if it is a tumor and that it might clear up on its own. So the follow up MRI’s are needed to check any change in this spot as well.

This is all an answer to YOUR prayers. Thanks each of you so much for your continued support in this time of trial.
