Wednesday Evening (Thursday morning)

Greetings to all!

Well to start we will say that the CT scan did not show anything in/on the shoulder except arthritis, but did show that the lung had two places that had been bleeding. This bleeding is something that can happen after the chemo and when the numbers, particularly the platelets are really low. He said the spots are healing and every thing would be okay. He is going to have an MRI for more details and to try to find something that might be going on in her right shoulder. Dr. Lee is also calling in the lupus Doctor, Dr. Mark Frost, to have him check Marty over for anything that he may see, as to how the lupus is responding. Her triple lumen subclavian line will also be changed.

So, we are going to St. V’s tomorrow for the chemo and all of these other things. It should be an interesting stay. Marty is hoping that some of the medicine they give her when taking the chemo might help the shoulder pain. So, she is really looking forward to going back and is doing so with high hopes.

Speaking of “high hopes” keep yours up no matter what is going on in your life. God never has promised us a rose garden, but only that He will always be with us. We certainly hope that you are feeling God’s presence, as we are at this time. God is so good! All the time! - All the time! God is so good! What else can one say? Praise the Lord!!!!!!

Have a great day and God bless.

Marty and Jack
