2 more radiation treatments...then vacation time!

Patty has 2 more radiation treatments. She will continue to take the "chemo pill" for another 10 days, then she will give her body a rest from all treatment for a month, then start back on the "chemo pill". In early August she will have a MRI. (VERY IMPORTANT)

She had an appointment with the neurosurgeon (Dr. Kingman), he gave her a very good report and feels like she is doing great. She will have an appointment with the oncologist (Dr. Fichtel) on Tuesday, then she will be released until the August appointment. Her last appointment with the radiologists (Dr. Eyre) was last Thursday. He told her that depending on the results of the MRI will determine if he sees her again.

She hasn't been sick from the chemo (THANK GOD), she does feel tired. We have plans to go to Colorado and give her time to rest in the cool climate! She has lost some hair around the radiation site and on the right side of the back of her head...shes thinking about shaving it...she says she always wanted to shave her head??? I volunteered...but she wasn't too crazy about that, Ms Janie Ferguson from Uvalde will be in charge of the styling...(darn it) :)

She (along with Dr. Rogers) has decided that it would be best if she spent time healing for the 1st semester of the coming school year, the school has given her such wonderful support in allowing her to make this decision...it was very hard for her, but in the long run it will be best. During that time she will be working with a Speech therapist to help her re-train her brain. We aren't for sure if this will take place around Sabinal or if she will have to be in San Antonio.

I have mentioned the names of her Doctors so yall can lift them up in yall's prayers of THANKS!! They have done a wonderful job in making Patty feel comfortable in this healing process. Dr. Rogers is her regular doctor. She listened to Patty at the first and that alone got Patty in to the Doctors that she needed to see.

Again thanks for everything from the food to the cards, but mainly the prayers!! Miracles occur all of the time because of our strong belief in God's ability to heal.

God Bless
