Another day, another post

Alright so Jason finally went to the opthamologist last week. The results his vision has changed drastically since his last eye exam. We are also being referred to a different eye doctor, a surgeon, to test J out for something called Grave's Disease. Its basically an autoimmune disorder that leads to hyperthyroidism. Jason is presenting with a whole bunch of the symptoms. If it is indeed what he has then it is treatable, especially at the stage we have seem to have caught it at. Better news we had a fantastic family picture session with Nena Metcalf Photograpy this weekend. We have not had family pictures in like 2 years and J and I havent had pictures since our wedding. Needless to say I am very excited. We also took a trip to the beach yesterday. It was a little windy and overcast but it was perfectly fine for Ronan to play in the sand. J sat out in a chair and watched him, it was a good time. We went to Gaido's for lunch for those that dont know its the oldest Seafood House in Texas. Guess who got sick from it, thats right me! Im feeling a bit better and Im just thankful it held off until we got back home. Other than that the next month is shaping up to be a busy one. We have multiple doctor appointments, physical therapy appointments, Ronan's 3rd birthday, our niece's 1st birthday, Easter. It looks like we will be on the go. Oh and guess what I got back into school starting the Fall semester!!!!Prayers Welcomed!Kimmy

Another mountain climbed!

So Jason is still in Remission!!!!! Wahoo! THis is 7 months post first transplant and 3 months after the second. The ct scans look good there is post treatment effects being seen is his tailbone and spine (meaning the cancer is going bye bye) there are few nodes in his lung but those are being attributed to his pneumonia and the RSV. Dr. Nieto said they are not cancer. The blood clot is still in his legs and not he has blood clots in both lungs. He is already on the treatment so its just waiting for them to clear up. He is not symptomatic so thats good. We are so excited this basically the longest Remission that he has had and are so thankful. Jason continues to do well with physical therapy we actually have the foot brace people coming on Friday to see if they can custom make a brace for his giant feet, the two he has now are just too small. We do go back next week to see the opthamalogist because the chemo has affected his eye site then the next week go get a bone density scan so we can see if there is any treatment we can do to start filling in all the holes in Jason's pelvis so that maybe it can be stabilized enough for some hardware. On the whole we are pretty happy with they way things are going. Thank you for all the prayers and support, please continue. Prayer requests, a friend of ours Dad was diagnosed with Stage IV Pancreatic Cancer, please pray for the Breeland family. Prayers Welcome, Kimmy

Deep breath in, release...................

We went and saw Dr.Nieto last Tuesday. Jason's lungs sound good and they said the wheezing and cough is going to hang around for a while. They put the request back in for physical and occupational therapy to begin again. We asked about Ronan being able to start day care and they said since J seems to catch any and everything could we wait a few more months for Jason's immune system to get a bit stronger. We go in for three month scans in a week and a half and Jason and I are on pins and needles. It is exactly a year since he started having symptoms of a recurrance. Dr. Nieto seems pretty happy with the ways things are progressing, we even have an appointment back with Dr. Tannir in June. This is exciting, we kind of miss him and Zita. We are making some changes to the house, I picked up an OOPS paint at home depot for a $1 and painted part of our kitchen. We liked the color and figured after almost five years we should started making this our house. Well prayer request that things go on as usual. Ill update when there is more to say.. Happy almost Spring....Prayers Welcomed. Kimmy
