I just had to let you all know about my great news! Some of you know about

my fiancé, Don, who has Hodgkin's disease. It has been a tough battle so

far, and he had a CT scan done last Wednesday, and it was compared to one

done last October. It was found that he had an 85% reduction in the mass in

his chest!! The oncologist said that the rest is probably scar tissue, and

there is a good chance that he is completely cancer free! He still has 3

more chemotherapy sessions left, and then starts radiation, but to hear such

good news so early in the game is so promising. All this hard work has

finally gotten us somewhere! YAY!!!

[Guest guest]

! That is great news! I am so happy for you and Don, you hang in there hon!

Love you lots,

For all of you who read the drama of the ebay book on vaccines..here is the

update.....It was Ingri's (vaclib) good friend who got the book! He is sending

it to Ingri for safe keeping and giving her a chance to scan it and put it on

a disc for distribution!

It doesn't get any better than that! Life is good!

All the best,

[Guest guest]

Great news for Logan and you!!!!! I am happy to hear it. Does he have to wear a brace now?

,

Its great to hear Logan got some correction with his last fiberglass cast.

Did you say he was free for a couple of weeks before the next cast is

applied? Is the reason for this break his skin? (try calendula cream, if

there is no open wounds)

Have you mentioned Dr. Mehtas early treatment casting method to your doc?

I'm confident that your docs theory is working, I am just trying to avoid

Logan being really uncomfortable with an arm and leg casted, if it didnt

have to be that way.

If I am not mistaken, your doc does the casting with his hands and no

casting frame? Just so you know, the specialized casting frame used in SLC

allows docs/cast techs to acheive great correction/derotation without

including limbs.

Was the 18 degree Cobb measurement taken with or without the cast on?

Best wishes and congrats on that low number!

We are going to do another cast on the 21st for a couple months to try

and correct it further and then after that we will be going to the brace.

THe 18 Deg COBB was after they removed the cast. In the cast his spine

was straight. THis next cast will not have the arm and leg. THe reason

he had it in the other cast was because he wanted to try and correct

it realy fast since we are moving soon. He wanted to get it under

control before he turned us over to the Shriners in SLC. He refuses to

to POP becuse of the sanitary factor and he was saying he can " do just

as good of job correcting as POP but cleaner. " but I did talk to him

about the way the casts look similar to tank tops instead of like a

haulter top. he said that is a good idea but might be a little

uncomfortable for him. He is going to put one shoulder in to put a

little pressure similar to the way he used his arm and leg as leverage

before. So it will be like a one armed tank top. The reason for

the two weeks in between was my choice. He said the longest he would

goin between casts is two weeks so I took advantage of that. I wanted

Logn to have a little rest from the casting. After the cast was off is

when I saw how bad his skin was. Mostly because the way his cast was

he could poop up into it and as I was digging up there to clean I

guess I was pushing some up there too.

I am sure you both are enjoying his freedom.

No worries on the tank top style POP jackets/casts...I'm sure most parents

will agree that they are not as bad as they may initially seem. The straps

are loose and not pressing on to the body.

Honestly, try that caledula cream if you can find it...Its really great

stuff.

Sincerely,

HRH

Calendula cream is talking about is well worth it! Eliana

and it has worked wonders!!

Great news Jen!!!!

Ali

GREAT NEWS!!!

My daughter Molly is coming home this weekend!!! Her father is moving to No. Carolina to start his treatment (cost of living is less and he is going on disability). She went there for a year because I really just needed a break, and I was so worried that my ex and his wife were going to take my baby girl 3,000 miles away.

I am so thrilled to death, she has a lot of mental health issues, but something in my household was missing with her gone...

Just wanted to share

Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. 6:34

Happy smiles - I will drive up to Los Angeles this weekend to get her. I had to go in this a.m. for lab work, hopefully that will all turn out ok.
