Just yell timberrrrr!!! (bad joke I know)

Alright guys, so its been awhile since Ive blogged but it was relatively uneventful. We had a few nice weeks with Ronan. On the 9th he had a CT scan of his pelvis to determine if more radiation was needed and they decided it didnt. The tumors had not shrunk but were stable. To add to this though he has a S1 fracture in his sacrum with multiple tiny fractures through out the left part of his sacrum. So we went to the ortho doc and they said to put J on crutches and for us to let it heal naturally. Jason finished his radiation on June 15th. That was cool, but unfortunately things have been going kinda down hill since then. His feet and legs were swelling up and that was making it hard to walk. His mobility was getting progressively worse. Early Monday morning he fell when he stood up to get out of bed, so we were finally able to get him back in bed. (For those that dont know my husband is a BIG GUY 6ft8in 320.) There was no way I could just haul him back into bed. He said his leg just gave way. We went to the Er and they did a CT and fortunately there were no new fractures and none of the old ones were displaced. They couldnt tell about tumor growth because MRI's see that better and he was already scheduled for on Thursday. So he is now using a walker and can only walk for very short distances. If it is going to be anything more than around the house we have to use a wheel chair. We are also getting an ankle brace for him but we have to have it made because they dont stock giant and he will be starting physical therapy as well. He did have fall in the shower when we got home so now we are making the house more friendly for him. We are actually right now back at MDAnderson for his Ct of his chest and abdomen and xray of the chest as well. Tomorrow we meet with Dr. Tannir, go to the planning meeting for the benefit, then back to MDAnderson for his MRI. Well we should know alittle more about where things are heading tomorrow or atleast what are plans are next week. Keep on praying and spreading word about the benefit. I will have more details to post on that tomorrow as well. Lots of love
Kimmy
