GOOD NIGHT!!!!

Having a good night of sleep meant a lot to Delight today. She is feeling better than she has the past few mornings. She slept all night without waking up last night. Terry Joe's alarm went off at 5:30 and she got up and took a shower and went back to bed until 8:30 this morning!!! But she said that she is still sleepy. She was begging to go home after we ate lunch and take a nap, but I insisted that she had been off to much lately and she need to come back to work!! So she decided to work a while longer. She said she was just going to sleep all weekend.

She looks really good today. The twins have a ball game tonight at 8:30. She hopes to feel well enough to make it. They thought they were playing last night so they went to the ball park and it had been changed to night. Bracee also has a dance program tomorrow night that she wants to go.

Delight maybe you'll have time to sleep a little!!!

Have a good weekend

P.S. Tonya has a list going for anyone who would like to take food to Delight's house. Please contact Tonya if you would like to participate. Thanks.

Hello Delight!

I took this photo on top of Angel's Landing in Zion National Park, Utah. The crowd up there helped me out with instructions on how to make a 'D' and 'E' in sign language. Since we had climbed a little closer to heaven, we all sent up a prayer for you while we were there.


I hope you're feeling better soon!

NOT MUCH BETTER

Delight came to work at about noon today. She is not feeling any better today. She did not sleep at all last night. I think that she is going to have to get some type of sleeping pill. I told her again today how good she looked but she is still wishing that she felt as good as she looked. Still NO energy.

The fluid that they drained off of the lung last Friday was cancerous. The doctor is wanting to seal of this lung but Delight is uncertain what she is going to do. The surgery and healing time was a lot worse that what she had been lead to believe. Her ribs are still sore from the surgery the last time. When she makes some kind of decision I will let you know.

PS HI LISA

HURTING ALL OVER

Delight is at work today, barely. She does not feel good at all. She has not been sleeping very much. No energy at all. Her back is hurting and her legs are hurting, she is just hurting all over. She said that it is just side effects from the chemo. Terry Joe took her for a ride yesterday and he wanted to eat at Papa's but she didn't feel like it. This is her second week for the chemo.

Blu, Jennifer, Kaylee & Jo were here over the weekend. They were all having a good time except for Blu. He was having some hurting in his side. The visit was cut short when they had to leave early Sunday morning to take Blu to the hospital in Dallas. His appendix had ruptured. Thankfully she got him to the hospital before to much of the infection had spread. He is supposed to go home today from the hospital. Blu, we hope that you are feeling better!! Take care of yourself.

Lisa, Delight & I were talking about you a little bit ago. We hope that you are having a GREAT time!!!! Please don't jump over!!!

PS Friday she did get her lung drained. They drained a liter and a half of fluid off of her left lung. She is able to breathe a lot better.

BACK TO DALLAS

The lung doctor from Dallas called Delight back and he wants her to come to the emergency room tomorrow afternoon at 3:00 to drain the lung. She is ready for some relief. Blu, Jennifer and the kids are coming to Idabel tomorrow night. Delight is looking forward to seeing all of them. If anything different happens tomorrow, I will post.

SHE LOOKS GOOD

We took Delight her lunch and visited a little bit earlier. She looked good (I really did not expect her to look as good as she did) and her breathing was a whole lot better than when I had talked with her this morning. She said that she had just taken a breathing treatment. She still had not heard from the doctor in Dallas. She said that she was going to give him until 2:00 and if she had not heard from him she was going to call him again. She said she would call me when she found out anything.

Kaye

OTHER LUNG

I talked to Delight a little while ago and you could really tell that she was having a difficult time breathing. She said Dr. Salyer called and said that the xray showed it was the left lung this time. (the right lung was the one that she had the surgery on) Dr. Salyer's office sent the results to the lung doctor in Dallas. She is waiting to hear from them. Possibly she could go down tomorrow to have it drained. She said that she slept until 4:30 this morning. She slept on the couch on pillows. When I hear anything else I will post.

Kaye

A LITTLE BETTER

Delight went to see Dr. Salyer this morning. They did a chest xray on her. They will not know the results until in the morning. Terry Joe & Delight both thought that it looked like quite a bit of fluid had built back up on the lung. But he said that they were not doctors and they better wait and see what Dr. Salyer said. He gave her some water pills and some inhalers to see maybe they would help some.

Terry Joe seemed to think she rested better last night. He is HAPPY to be out of school.

When I hear anything in the morning I will post again.

BREATHING PROBLEMS

Delight had a very busy weekend. She went to the twins program on Friday night and she was able to go to Lindsey's graduation on Saturday night. She also was able to go to church on Sunday and watch the twins a little while Sunday afternoon. Monday she was able to work until early afternoon. She went home and took a nap Monday afternoon. When she left work she was having a hard time breathing. She was unable to sleep Monday night. She could not breathe well enough to sleep. Terry Joe called me this morning to tell me that she was not coming to work today. Walter and I went to go check on her at lunch. She had been sleeping most of the morning raised up on the couch. She was still having trouble breathing. She said that she does not think it is her lungs that have filled up she is thinking it is more like allergies or possibly a cold that has settled in her chest. They are waiting on the doctors office to call them back to see what they need to do. Hopefully she will find out something soon. When I hear anything I will post again.

HARD WORKING GIRL

Delight was at work bright and early this morning. She said that she was up and down most of the night. She still cannot completely get rid of the pain. She is going to try another pain medicine. The pain is from where they had the drainage tube in between her ribs. The doctors keep telling her that it just takes time for that to completely heal. She is trying to be patient but I think she is really getting tired of it. Sunday she is going to start taking her chemo pills again. She will be taking 6 pills daily. She was taking 8 and the doctor said for her to take 2 less a day. She is hoping the lesser amount will keep her hand and feet from hurting. The twins have a play tonight and Lindsey has graduation tomorrow night. She is planning to attend both of those functions. Between those functions she hopes that she will be able to rest.

Have a good weekend

GOOD REPORT

Delight called and said both doctors have released her. She doesn't have to go back to either one.

She called Dr. Mirtsching and told him that she had been released. They are going to get back with her on when she needs to start taking her chemo pills again.

They were already headed back to Idabel. She told me that she would see me bright and early in the morning.

Kaye

BACK AT WORK

Delight was at work this morning bright and early even though she had a busy weekend. She did say that she was tired but that hasn't slowed her down at all. If you didn't know that she was sick you could not even tell it the way she has been buzzing around here everywhere.

Charmyrle is taking Delight to Dallas tomorrow. She will be seeing the 2 surgeons that did her lung and gall bladder surgeries. She said that they should be releasing her to start her chemo pills again. Her hands and feet have just now started feeling normal. She is not going to take as many pills a day as she did so maybe she will not have the trouble with her hands and feet.

Have a good day!!!!!!

STILL IN PAIN

Delight is still in a lot of pain. She is having trouble with her shoulder hurting. She was saying that is were they put some type of gas in for her surgery. The doctor told her that the pain was to be expected. She got some different pain medicine hoping that would ease the pain some. She has not been resting very good at night. I know last night she had to get up twice and soak in the tub.

We took her some lunch again today. We ate our lunch and watched The Young and Restless with her. She looked good. Her new pain medicine came while we were eating. So maybe she took it and it will ease the pain so she can get some much needed rest.

Terry Joe will be in late tonight.

Have a good day.

Kaye

REALLY TIRED

Tonya & I took Delight lunch today. She was feeling much better today than she did yesterday. She said that she is still very weak. The doctor told her that it would help her if she got out and walked. She was going to try and walk a little outside. She looked really good and she ate most of her lunch that we took her. Her mother was going to come and check on her around 1:00 today. Terry Joe left yesterday for OKC with the golf team. State playoffs were today and tomorrow. Johnice did her laundry and we did her dishes or maybe I should say put them in and started the dishwasher!! She is thinking she may come to work tomorrow. Who knows about that girl???? When I hear from her or see her again I'll post.

Have a good day

HOME AGAIN

Delight was released from the hospital today!!! She sounded really good on the phone and was excited about getting to come home. She thinks that things are going to start looking up for her now!!!

SURGERY GOES GOOD

Delight went into surgery around 11:15 and Terry Joe was calling around 1:15 saying everything went good. The doctor was able to do it laparoscopic. He said the gall bladder was in bad shape. She had a couple of stones that were embedded. He still thought they should be home sometime tomorrow.

Have a good weekend!!

Kaye

YES---- SHE'S IN THE HOSPITAL AGAIN

Yesterday afternoon Delight came into my office about 1:45 and she said that she just had to go home because she could not stand the pain she was having. She looked and acted like a totally different person than she did just a few hours earlier. She had called the doctor earlier to complain about the pain and he called her back while she was in here and he said for her to get back to Dallas immediately. They left Idabel about 3:00 and was checking into the hospital at 5:50. She finally got some pain medicine (dilaudid) at 9:30 last night that worked. She was pain free then and has been ever since. She has been taking it about every 2 hours. The doctor said that it is her gall badder. She will be having surgery early afternoon today. He is almost sure that he will be able to do it laparoscopic. That will be GREAT if he doesn't have to cut on her. If everything goes good then she will be able to leave the hospital on Saturday morning. Terry Joe said he would call as possible after surgery.

Please keep them in your prayers today. Pray that she can start feeling better after this surgery.

I'll post again as soon as I hear.

LOOKING GOOD!!!

This is sweet little Ayva Delight Eidson!!!!!!!!!!
Delight is back at work today!!! She look really good!!! She said that she feels pretty good, too. She still has a little hurting in her lower side/back. The doctor told her the inflammation was probably due to the surgery. She said that the medicine has already helped her.
