I am doing this blog to help friends and family keep informed about how Jason and the rest of us are doing during Jason's Journey.

Hmmm
So this week has been chocked full of appointments for Jason. Monday he went to the pain managment doctor. Not much change there, he is lowering the dose on one medicaiton (methadone) and upping it on another (lyrica) to see if that helps. Tuesday he went to the orthotist who basically made him some arch supports for his shoes and a new pair of leg/foot braces to help when he wants to wear low tops. Then today he went and got a bone density scan and met with the internal medicine doctor for the results. Well he is low in vitamin D. Apparently he was suppose to be taking this since his last visit and he has not been. I did not know this, I was not at his last appointment as well as this one. I guess I should start attending these. His scan shows that he continues to lose density in his bones. I dont know, he has been taking boniva ( an osteoporosis med) and it has not helped. They are going to wait and get his vitamin D level up and then switch Jason to a once a month IV med. We will wait and see. Its not great news, but its not bad either so we will take it. Ronan continues to grow,amaze, and downright baffle us sometimes. I will register in a fews days to go back to school. We are both super excited. On the whole not really a bad week! Prayers request this post is for a friend of ours whose Dad past away from complications of pancreatic cancer. Thanks everyone, will update when I know more. Prayers Welcomed, Kimmy!
