I am not doing well. Yesterday, we got back there at noon and they had given

him a cat scan and then another MRI. Then did the Biopsy from the bone, (which

we know anything on till next Tues, at the latest, its too long) anyway we spoke

with a Dr. and they from what they have put him through so far is say that it is

a blood tumor which wound its way thru the base of his spine and part of it is

around a nerve in his spinal cord. They want to stay away from Surgery as they

would have to open up the whole spine ( possibility of paralysis) so they want

to try and shrink it with radiation. They think it is a blood tumor that they

can shrink with radiation and took him away again to get it set up for him in

case he got worse over the weekend, My husband went with because he was given

some morphine for the pain of the Biopsy and someone had to sign for him, All

they were going to do was set it up and be ready, so my parents, my daughter

whose time this should be right now

planning her wedding, and my middle son sat waiting. Doug called and said they

had decided to go ahead and give him radiation right then and there, another

shock! So we waited again and they brought him back again. He will get to

come home probably next week but we or i will have to take him back to Sioux

Falls every day till he is done with a total of ten treatments. They are trying

to shrink it, I am exhausted called my GP and had him give me a little stronger

zanax to help me relax alittle more. i was so stiff yesterday i could hardly

move. I wanted to stay there all night but my DH said no you are coming home

and getting some rest. i wanted to stay one minute they are telling us not to

be too concerned about then the next they decide to change it and make it seem

more serious. They are still talking a chance of paralysis regardless and that

they think it is a blood cancer which could leukemia, lymphoma and what ever

else those 2 scared me enough so i kind

of shut down. I did not cry alot yesterday I can't there is none left right

now.

He is in good spirits. When he comes home we are going to keep him here so it

will be easier for me to run him to Sioux Falls everyday for radiation Right now

that is all i know so now have to go get ready to go back before 11:30 am as He

has another radiation treatment and we have to be there to sign papers. He

received flowers from Walmart where he works and Grandma brought him Chocolate

chip cookies which he could not even eat till they let him. i am tired and in

plenty of pain but can't slow down so gotta gotta for now.. Love all of ya!

Hi Lori, I don't really expect that you will answer for a few days. I am

praying for you and your son. I hope the biopsy turns out to be negative.

Whenever you get the chance let me know how thing are going. I lost your phone

number so I can't call you. Know that I am praying for you and your family

daily.

With Gods Love,

Vicki/Grits
