First I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and pray your Christmas is full of the Lord's peace, mercy and grace. We are thankful for another year together and another year of serving the Lord!
Steve just celebrated a very important birthday….#70!! The Lord provided great weather (thank you to those who prayed the rain would stay away) and used my limited hosting skills and abilities to put together a party in which my adorable husband was greatly blessed. Thank you to our friends and family who were able to come and celebrate the life of my hubby!!
Zoom in on his shirt!
Last time I wrote about the challenges Steve was having and how the oncologist wanted him to see a pulmonologist to rule out any lung issues. Well he did and has has….no lung issues. After talking things over we asked if Steve could still take the pomalidomide but at a lower dose, maybe the side effects would be lessened and he would still get the benefits of the chemo. He was approved and started the lower does on 12/4. We are still waiting for Steve's M-spike results from last month. We expect it to be higher since he missed 2 weeks of treatment…but we had to do what we did and feel the increase will be minimal.
Oh and the latest in the life of a chronically ill person…..Steve now has shingles! Yep…shingles. The rash and blisters are on the right side of his neck, hairline, ear, cheek and collarbone area. The pain was terrible yesterday….but today was much better. He is on 3 new medications! Hopefully he will have a mild case, will heal quickly and not have any chronic pain issues afterward.
Many, many blessings to you and your loved ones. As always please keep the following in your prayers…they too are under going health problems. Julie, Tana, Natalie, Jim, Cheryl, Cheryl, Doris, and Maricella.
Love to all,
Mr & Mrs. L.
