On Monday,before we returned to Baltimore, we learned that there are tumors in Sally's brain.. Her oncologist, Dr Rudin prescribed medication to releive the swelling that was occurring. Dr Rudin indicated this swelling was causing Sally's discomfort, fatigue, and sleepiness. The medication has made a dramatic positive change for her.
Today we have the 3rd treatment for her vertabrae, then expect Tim for supper at our apartment...
Beginning tomorrow morning we proceed to evaluate the situation in Sally's brain and learn of the treatment that her doctor recommends.
Although this is sad news for us, today has been a very good day... After 18 hours of the medication, Sally awoke this morning refreshed, and relatively free from the pain that she has experienced for the past few weeks...

After rejoicing with you for nearly two years when you got good news, now we share the sorrow of the not-so-good news. I know that God is very near you as you face these experiences.
ReplyDeleteWe are happy that your pain has been relieved! We would much rather you "be a pain" than be IN pain.
Lots of love from Alma and family
