A little update

So Jason came home on Tuesday. He is feeling pretty tired and still has some wheezing and coughing but is very happy to be in his own bed. He is getting some rest and he and Ronan are playing when he has the energy but either the illness or the cure pretty much wiped him out. He is getting out of bed and coming to the living room, tomorrow Im going to try to get him outside for a bit if the weather stays nice. He is back on blood thinners twice a day and at a bigger dose, luckily his belly is pretty numb to these now. The swelling has gone down on his right foot and is lessening on his right leg so thats good news. We go back to the doctor on Tuesday so I will have more to report then. Prayers for an event free weekend! Prayers Welcomed! Kimmy

Whats it like inside the bubble...........

Alright so yesterday at the hospital the Dr on call ordered a Doppler Sonogram of Jason's leg(this checks blood flow). His leg had been swelling and brought it to the attention of the Dr and PA but it didnt get anywhere. Well yeah for the Er doc, apparently J has a blood clot that stretches from his groin to his knee. It could be further down they just dont scan the calves. So he is started on blood thinners again and Im not quite sure what the next step is. He finally got into a room and they initiated the treatments for the RSV. He says that a plasic bubble is put over him with a hole in the side so that he can get himself drinks, then there is a mask on the inside that delivers the medicine. Sounds space agey, but he if it works. No one is allowed in the room when he is getting the treatments so I dont have to feel so guilty about not being up there even though Roo and I are sick and logically I know I should not be there. The treatments will last 5 days so its looking like hopefully Monday for release but probably Tuesday. He is doing well, just bored. He is going to make sure that with the clot its okay for him to get up and walk around. Thats about all for now. Its amazing how God works, J goes in for a virus to be treated and a life threatening blood clot is found...Thank you Jesus for watching over my husband. Prayers Welcomed! Kimmy

Icky, Yucky, and then some.............

Well we all have the icky crud which is apparently RSV. For me it equals a pretty annoying cold and cough. For Ronan, a cold, cough, with some crazy mucous amounts, for Jason it equals a trip the the hospital. We took J to the Dr. yesterday and they drew some cultures and were sent home while those stewed. We went to pick up Roo from my parents went by the grocery store to stock up, when we got home at around 9pm we get a phone call from Dr. Nieto. He asked us to come up to the hospital through the ER for Jason to be admitted. He has to get some sort of medicine there to keep this from turning into something really bad. I dont know how long he will be in, he doesnt actually have a room yet and still in the Er. They are doing breathing treatments right now so thats about all I know. Ronan and myself are slowly getting better with lots of fluids, a humidifier, and inhalers. On a different note, my Aunt, Carol has been in the ICU in Austin for the past 12days. She is on intubated and on a ventilator and will be putting in a tracheotomy tomorrow. She is having some major complications from the flu and pneumonia. Please pray for the doctors to be able to pin down the cause of this and to treat it accordingly, pray for strength for her and Jason to overcome these illnesses. You guys are amazing!

Good to GO!

Well the weather might not be, but we are. We had an appointment with Dr. Nieto today. First off let me start by saying that Jason walked at the hospital. He did not use a wheelchair. I am so proud of him. We are suppose to have a physical therapy appointment tomorrow, we will see if that works out tomorrow or not. Second, all of Jason's blood work is looking excellent. We only had one tumor marker back at the time of the appointment but it was the one I was worrying about and it is within normal range and less than a month ago. He is apparenty doing so good we dont have to be back for 3 months! This is the first time since 2009 that we have got to go that long between check ups. On one hand its excellent on the other it petrifies me. When we go back in May we will repeat tumor markers and ct scans and meet with Dr. Nieto and get to visit Dr. Tannir. Obivousely we well go back if we suspect something but for now its physical therapy and we will add in occupational therapy and just work on moving forward. Prayers Welcomed. Kimmy
