Day 338

Things are still going well. They have switched some of her medicine around which will make it easier for the trip home. We are still looking at arriving back in Texas on Tuesday around 12:30 in the airport! We are all so excited, but it’s hard since we have been here for so long. It’s amazing what you accumulate after almost 10 months. I have been taking full suitcases back and forth for the last several weeks, but it looks like we are still going to have to ship a lot of things.

All in all, Becca is doing well. She has been a little nauseated with the change in some of her medicine, but we are hoping by Tuesday she will be feeling a lot better and be used to to the switch. She meets with the Oncologist on Monday which should be her last visit for several months.

Thank you all so much for your prayers. She is still healing and getting a little feeling back each day. It’s a slow process, but hopefully in the next several months she can fully recover. We love you all! Keep praying for her.

Day 332

Things have been going well, Becca is getting stronger every day. She is walking a lot and starting to go up and down the stairs several times a day. She was even able to lift Cameron into the high chair today!

Becca has an appointment with the pain/medication specialists this week, but her last visit is on Monday of next week. We are off to Texas on Tuesday the 12th! She didn’t even want to wait for the end of the week… go figure. So for now, in just over a week she will be back in her home for the first time in 332 days 🙂

Please keep praying for a quick and full healing. We love you all!

Day 327

Becca was able to meet with the surgeon today. They took out the stitches, took out the drain and the mid line in her arm. He stated that it looks great and it very happy that there doesn’t appear to be any infection. She can now sit or lay on her back, as long as she can support the pain. She can’t swim for about 4 weeks, and has to keep the drain hole covered while she showers. Becca needs to visit again in three months for her scans. What a great day!

So where does that leave us? Well, she has an oncologist follow up appointment in a couple of weeks and she needs to get her mobility back. But we honestly feel that she could be home before her birthday (June 16th)! She still is numb from the neck down (remember that the cancer was in her sacrum, but her body attacked the spinal cord in her neck causing swelling and numbing). They say with time that will continue to get better. However, she can walk and has control of her bowels.

I know our prayers have been answered! We will soon be coming home and begin our new life. Please keep praying that she continues to heal and comes home soon…. 😀

Day 324

Becca has been doing well, just in a considerable amount of pain. We had the pain people adjust it again, hopefully it will help more. She has been able to ‘do’ everything that we hoped for. It has been a blessing and we just pray she will continue to gain strength and control over her whole body. She still has her visit on Tuesday, which should shed light on how everything is going and how long before we can go home!

Please keep praying… 🙂

Day 320

Becca made it home last yesterday and is doing well. She is still in a bit of pain, but trying her best to overcome it. I really think the reality that we can go home soon has sunk in, and it's driving her.

Becca should get the stitches out next week and has a couple of follow up appointments in the next few weeks, but then we are good to go. She is still walking around and getting better a little every day.

Please keep praying for her, it's working!
