Thank you to those of you who have prayed and made contact with me concerning the health of my son and grand daughter.
Last week Rhu had her follow-up appointment after having the shunt placed and they were told that things looked good.
Today Timothy had his follow-up appointment with the oncologist. To our great relief he has received a clean bill of health. At least as clean as you can get when battling cancer. He will still have the port in for the foreseeable future and will have follow-up appointments every three months for a while.
The doctor said they do not expect to have any more PET scans or MRI's unless he begins to feel sick. They will merely keep up with the blood work looking for cancer markers.
After 4 months on short term disability he will return to work at the beginning of July. (Not sure if his company will be working on the 3rd or not).
He started his job the day after he was diagnosed and the company has been especially gracious to him. They transferred him from one division of the company to another so that he could receive his treatment closer to family.
They then offered him additional sick days and guaranteed his job when he finishes treatment. I'm thinking the four owners are deserving of thank you pens.
I feel like I can breathe for the first time in six months.
