Another Friday
Just sitting here while Ric is getting what we hope is his last treatment. This round anyway. Monday when we saw the Dr. his blood work came back really good - the Dr is quite amazed at how good he's been doing. His white blood count is good and his liver enzymes have dropped in half in the last 3 weeks. The swelling in his liver has gone way down. We of course are ecstatic but cautious. Once you've been slammed a couple times it's hard to get too optimistic but we are as much as possible. We KNOW that your prayers have helped so much and especially with the peace we feel. Ric says he feels really good and has been sleeping wonderfully. In fact the last couple days he says that he feels like he's slept too much :). This week has gone by so quickly!
Next week is our "bye" week. No doctor appts or treatments - just chiro & massage. Then the following week is the "stressful" week as Ric will be having an MRI & CT Scan to see what's going on inside - that's on the 18th. We get the actual news on the 20th and where we go from here. So prayers please that the scans will show that Ric is doing as good as the blood work and how good he feels. Well we are done so gotta shut down. Looking forward to a great weekend!
