Hi all! Sorry it's been awhile since the last post, but not much to tell, I guess. The only thing that's been exciting recently (not in a good way) is that I got cellulitis in my face. Ugh. Fortunately it was on my left side, but started to creep to my right side which is when I got concerned (since that was the side of surgery). I was placed on a very hefty antibiotic and looked much better even by the next day. Praise God! I am continuing to improve each day with that. I still have s mild amount of swelling and am still a little red and splotchy on the face. At least it's not flaming hot and tender now. Huge improvement!
The headache is much better! I am no longer taking pain medicine around the clock. Only when I need it now, which is a big improvement. God is healing me day by day. Still no further word on other path reports. It's a waiting game I guess.
I switched radiation-oncology doctors. We really liked the original one....super nice guy, but they didn't do the type of radiation that Dr. Yasargil recommended. We decided to go with his recommendation, which meant we had to switch doctors and hospitals. I have my initial consult with the new radiation-oncologist tomorrow afternoon. Please pray for that appointment.
I had a nice day Friday at my friend Nicole's. She always gives me an invitation to spend the day at their house for a change of scenery. She even has a guest bedroom ready for my for my nap. And believe me, she makes sure I get a nap and a walk. As she puts it, she "mother hen's me"! Very funny, and true, in a very good way.
Yesterday we headed to Lansing for MSU football. Still no game for me, but Chad goes with the family. I stayed at my parent's with Jean and Jakey, where it was quiet and warm.
The most exciting thing in the last week was that my sister Marie had a beautiful big baby boy. An emergency c-section brought Matthew into the world weighing 9lbs 9oz & 22 1/2 in long. Mom and baby are both doing well. Yippee!
Please continue your prayers for my total healing and for low grade path reports from the next 2 opinions and no need for chemo. Thank you. Love,

Hi Laura,
Good to hear that the antibiotic is working. What a mess! I'm also glad you got to go to Nicole's and hang out. I'm sure a change of scenery did you well. I made the breakfast of champions the other day...banana bars! :) Everyone loved them!! Take care and talk to you soon!
Love you,
