Hello Loved Ones!!
Hope this finds all of you doing ok in this New Year!!
Here is an update on Sherrill Wayne (aka:Skinny). There were several delays in his PET scan, 1st the ice storm, then he had bronchitis again, when he did finally get it done, they had what they termed a "bad burn" on their CD, so they had to re-burn the CD and send it to the city to be read & don't forget to add in the holidays but the results were finally sent to Dr. Kings office this last week and the results are ...................... "INCONCLUSIVE AT THIS TIME". Actually what they stated was that they look for a density of 3.5 or more which means a probability of malignancy being 95% or more. His tumor/growth has a density of 3.0. They recommend letting another 60 days pass then re-do the PET scan to see if the density has increased, then that would lead to a biopsy. Dr. King suggested that Sherrill follow their recommendations and wait another 60 days. Sherrill is wanting to wait at least another 120 days (not recommend, not allowed). Aunt Martha & Lo want him to go ahead and get the biopsy done now. Sherrill and I discussed his options this afternoon and I recommend that he see an oncologist for a 2nd opinion. He is getting so many recommendations thrown @ him right now that I am sure his world is turned up-side down all over again. I can see why Aunt M & Lo want a biopsy, if it is malignant that would be 60 days more of treatment, but if it isn't then he was cut on sooner than needed if at all. What a dilemma, so here is my next suggestion, let's all send up prayers and see what God recommends!!
As for Randy, it is my understanding that he is doing ok other than a pulled muscle in his back and an upper respiratory infection. I haven't seen him in about 2 weeks but he seems to be doing ok. He has decided to forgo all medications and just live his life the way he wants to & he seems to be doing ok. The pain is at a minimum for now.
Mom & Pop are doing well. Both seem to tire more easily and sleep everyday in their recliners (naps, you know). Mom's memory at times is a bit more fuzzier than usual and she got on to me the other day b/c I was getting on to her for being nosy. She informed me that when you get to be her age there isn't much you can do that brings you happiness so when you find something that does make you happy you need to do it & being "NOSY" makes her happy so there!! Guess I will just have to put up w/it. It isn't really her nosiness that bothers me so much as her comments about people, especially people who can hear her comments which most of the time are not complimentary!! That is the hardest thing for me to get used to b/c she used to never do stuff like that ever! and we weren't allowed to do it either. Such is life.
All are well in my household and everyone has a job!!
Not much more to write and I agree w/Russ, you guys need to update your blogs, I miss all the info.
Oh & one more thing, my sincere apologies to my dear darling most favorite sister-in-law in the world for missing her birthday. MY BAD, sorry and I love you and hope your day was a happy one.
Love to you all,
Lisa
