We celebrated Chris's 62nd birthday today. It was nice to have everyone together, all the boys, the wives and the grand kids. Chris's spirits are high, though she's very tired from the radiation, 2 more days left, Monday and Tuesday, then we're finished with that for the meantime. Your thoughts and prayers are very appreciated. Love ya, Rog.

YES YES YES we are finally home at last. I sure hope we don't have to do that again. Chris is very tired this afternoon, but that is due to the Rads and then getting ready to come home. So it will be an early bath and we'll work on the hair as it is now coming out. We go in the morning for Rads then we are home for two and a half days. OH YA. Love you guys, and thank you. Talk on Mon. Rog

This is just a repeat of yesterday. The Dr. was just here and said that the lung looks much better and we may go home Thurs. if the X-ray at 3:00pm is good. Chris is feeling gooood today and we walked up and down the hall a couple of times. Also, she is now able to move her head left and right without it making her dizzy. It sure is nice to post early, so I'll just say keep those prayers coming. Thank You. Rog

Yep, she didn't get to come home today. Looks like they will put a larger tube in the chest to make this lung come up, so maybe Thur. Pastor Betsy was with us today and we shared the greatest love God has to offer. Thank you Pastor. WE both felt better after. Chris has five more Rads, then we meet with Dr. Vanderwoude to go over the options we have. This will happen Mar 4-10. People ask what can we do? Just Prayers And Love. Thank You Rog

Here we are Mon. and it starts all over again. As you guessed we didn't get discharged from the hospital this weekend, not on Mon, and not to sure with Tue. Her lung just will not stay up. We also talked with her main Dr. this afternoon and found out which type of cancer it is. It is not curable. All we can do is try and slow it down. WE had a snow storm over night so it wasn't nice driving in this morning. Well my eyes are playing tricks on me, so off to bed. 5:30pm See ya

Feb 18 - 19

Oh my?? Well, as you all know Chris's Biopsy went good, but three hours later her lung deflated, well Fri it was worse. Fri at noon she was admitted to Butterwoth/Spectrum and is still there as of Fri night. We hope that the lung will stay up tonight, and that she can come home Sat. We also found out that this cancer is not a breast jump. It is a new dragon so the fight is on the way. Hope to meet with Drs. Mon. to see where we go from here. Again I THANK YOU for your PRAYERS and LOVE. I'm going to bed. zzzzz

5:45pm, just got home and it was a very long hard day for Chris. We had to be there at 8:30 for Rads. up stair for a lung biopsy which went good , but the lung collapsed, so it got wild. But it seems she's ok and we were sent home. Back in the morning for Rads, and then upstairs for X-Ray and hopefully she gets the tube out. Thanks again for your prayers and love. Nite-Nite

Today Chris seemed a little brighter or cheerful,and that was good.
We had snow last night, so the drive down was on the slow side. Wed.
is her biopsy and we should know in 5-7 days what kind of lung cancer we are dealing
with. Again we both thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.

Feb 15-10

We started back this morning, and all went good. She got some meds for radiation sickness, and that helped. No up chucking. Please keep her in your prayers for Wed. We have a lung biopsy, so it will be a long day. Thanks to all.

Feb 13-14-10

No news, except Chris fells a little better today??
We start all over Mon. so I'll Post then.
She will have a lung biopsy Wed. after Rads, not looking
forward to that. Love you all.
