SHE'S BACK

Delight is back at work today in full force. She looks really good today. I told her this morning that I thought she was going to look bad.... but she doesn't. She's just so glad to get her tooth fixed. She feels pretty good just the normal tired.

Monday she goes back to the doctor in Dallas to do all kinds of scans. Bone scan, CT scan, MRI, EKG and Eco gram. Lets just say she is going to be scanned from top to bottom!!!

Have a good weekend everyone!!!

ROOT CANAL

We talked to Delight at lunch and she said they had been to the dentist this morning. He is going to do a root canal on her at 3:45 this afternoon. She is ready for some relief.

Dr. Mirtsching (her oncologist) said that Texarkana could not get her in any earlier to do the scans. So she will probably be having them done in Dallas.

She said that she is extremely tired.

Say a extra prayer for Delight today.

TOOTH PROBLEMS

Delight was not feeling well on Tuesday but she came to work anyway. After fight the flu last week she developed another problem over the weekend an abscessed tooth. Terry Joe took her to the dentist on Monday and they scheduled her an appointment to have a root canal on February 6. Tuesday she was in a lot of pain with the tooth. She told us that the pain pills were not even helping. She knew that she could not wait until February 6 to get some relief but she wasn't sure what she was going to do.

Wednesday she had an appointment with the doctor in Dallas. His office called her last Friday and told her that the test results that he did were the same as the results that she had already been given. It was the negative type of breast cancer that only 1% of the people have. She was disappointed in hearing those results. The doctor told her yesterday that he wants to do all kinds of scans on her before they decide for sure what kind of chemo that she will be taking. She was scheduled to take those scans in Texarkana Feb. 11. He is hoping to get those scans done earlier than Feb. 11. I think that he was going to be working on getting those moved up today. The doctor in Dallas was able to get Delight into a dentist this morning so Terry Joe and Delight stayed in Dallas last night so that they could get that tooth taken care of today. She had an appointment this morning at 8:45. She said that they were both exhausted last night.

If I hear anything else from her today I will try and post again.

PRAY FOR DELIGHT

Please say an extra prayer for Delight. She has not been able to work for the past 3 days. She has had a fever and a real bad cough & cold. She called early this morning and was planning to come to work but she was not able. She was just to sick.
I'm sure she would appreciate the extra prayers.

Thanks,

Kaye

GEORGE STRAIT

Delight has been very busy since the last time that I was on the blog. She had a lot of fun this past weekend in Little Rock seeing George Strait. I bet she was at the front dancing the whole time!!!! They went to Little Rock on Saturday morning with Lewis, Darlene, Lindsey, Terry Joe, and Jordan. They meet Stacey at the motel and she went to the concert with them. They spent the night in Little Rock and then Sunday they stopped in Hot Springs to visit Wendell and Charmyrle. They didn't get back to Idabel until about 7:30. They had a wonderful time.

Delight has been feeling good until the past couple of days. She went to see Dr. Salyer yesterday. She had a cough and her throat was hurting her really really bad. He gave her some medicine yesterday and she got some antibiotics this morning. She is hoping to get something that will clear it up quickly so she can get to feeling better.

Terry Joe and Delight went to Texarkana yesterday to get her monthly treament for building up her bones.

Have a Good Day!!!

NEW DOCTOR

Delight really liked Dr. Barry Mirtsching yesterday. They visited with him about an hour and half. The doctor is probably in his 30's. She will probably switch to this doctor. He did say that he thought that Delight's cancer was slow growing because it took 4 years to show back up. He also told her that nothing was wrong in her waiting to start any treatment. He has a lot of different ideas. She liked the idea of having about 6 different chemos as options. He told her about the different side effects on each one.

First he wants to start with the pathology report from 2002. He wants to do his own report. The report that she had been given was that HER 2 negative was a rare breast cancer. Only one percent of people have this kind of breast cancer. He said that there are some new tests now. Results could take up to 2 or 3 weeks. He does not use the test to check her marker count. The liver did not feel like it was enlarged. He could feel something in her chest. He told her to go ahead and take the bone builder treatments that she had been taking. Delight sent him the MRI & CT scans that she took in December to him this morning.

After he gets his report back on the new pathology report she will go back to see him and they will decide what treatment option they are going to use.

Everything sounds good. Delight looks really pretty today. She feels a little tired from yesterday. I know that she was glad she went to see this new doctor. She was glad to hear he had some different options.

I will keep everyone informed.

A GOOD NEW YEAR

The Eidson Family had a very good Christmas. Their house was very lively with around 25 people attending Christmas dinner. It sounded like they had lots of good food to eat. Delight felt pretty good during the holidays. New Years eve they took the twinks to see Alvin and the Chipmunks at the movies. That was the first time that the twins had been to a movie. I think mimi and papa had as much fun as the kids.

Terry Joe and Delight went to Athens, Texas this past weekend to see Blu, Jennifer and Kaylee. They were unable to come to Idabel during Christmas so Terry Joe and Delight decided to go see them. This was the first time they had been to Athens. They had such a good time. Delight said that Kaylee is growing up so fast. I think everyone had fun opening their gifts and just being together.

Delight is looking forward to meeting with the doctor in Dallas on Monday. Terry Joe will be going with her. I'll be sure to let you know when I hear from them on Monday. I'm looking forward to some new things this doctor has to offer.

Did you know that Terry Joe & Delight will be getting a new grand baby in May?? Riley and Reesha are going to be having a baby girl!! Her name is going to be
"Ayva Delight" Isn't that a pretty name?? I'm sure she will be just as pretty as her name.

Delight has been starting the new year off strong. She has been coming to work early and staying late almost everyday. She has been looking really good and has felt good except for sinus or a cold that she has caught this week. She is off to a good start this new year!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!!!!!
