DELIGHT IS BEAUTIFUL

Delight is having a good week so far. Her hands and feet are still giving her some trouble. Both hands and her feet are peeling. I don't know if you can tell by the picture how they are a reddish/purple color. Lisa bought her some gel socks and they really help her feet feel better.

She looks so pretty today that I had to take her picture so everyone can see how good she looks with her new haircut. She just looks wonderful!!!!!!!

Have a good week

DELIGHT IS DOING GOOD

Delight had a rough start to the week but she was much better at the end. The doctor had her to start taking a nausea pill and 1/2 of a pill to keep her from getting upset about every little thing. Those pills have really helped her. She has been able to work all day Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. She has looked really good and even got her hair cut this week. Maybe I can get her to take a couple of picture next week.

Sorry I forgot to post this week. I forget so many people depend on this. As we were leaving on Friday I told Delight that I forgot to post and I told her I would try and post sometime during the weekend. She told me that I was in trouble with Jennifer. Sorry Jennifer. I'll try and do better.

Have a good weekend.

DELIGHT IS ENCOURAGED WITH REPORTS

Delights visit with the lung doctor required her to have her lung drained again. He drained 1 1/2 liter of fluid off this time. This is the third time that she has had the lung drained since Feb 4. They talked about possibly doing the surgery soon so she will not be having to have the lung drained so often. The fluid is in the lining that is next to the lung. The surgery would be attaching the hole in the lining to the chest wall. She has not made up her mind if she is going to do the surgery. The doctor wants her to try and walk down her road some to see if this would help keep the fluid from building up.

The doctor refilled her chemo pills for 5 more times. Since the pills are working he wants her to continue taking them. She will go back April 22 for more scans. One of the scans that she will be taking that day will be the scan on the head. She will visiting with the doctor that did the scan on the head that afternoon. She has an appointment with her regular oncologist, Dr. Mirtsching on April 30 to discuss the rest of the scans.

Delight looks really pretty today. She said if she only felt as good as I say she looks. She said that she really doesn't hurt she just feels tired & draggy. Continue to pray for Delight....they are being answered.

MORE GOOD NEWS!!!!

Terry Joe and Delight went to see the doctor in Dallas today. The spot in the liver had shrunk from quarter size to dime size and the rest of the places had not changed. (at least they hadn't grown any) She considered all these reports to be great news!!! The doctor also wanted her to go and see the lung doctor to check and see if she needed to have her lung drained. Her appointment with him was not until 3:00 this afternoon so they were trying to kill some time when she called. She started her chemo pills on Monday. I don't know what they said about if she will have to take another round of chemo after she completes these two weeks. I'll have to let you know.

Remember to pray for Delight.

GREAT FANTASTIC NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Delight got a call this morning from the nurse about the results of her scans. The nurse could not wait to tell her!! Delight will go and visit with the doctor next week.

The scans showed the places had SHRUNK!!!!! This chemo must be working!!! She thinks she will have to do at least one more round of chemo. She is having a very hard time with her hands and feet hurting her to the point that she is not sleeping at night. She can barely walk because of the pain in her feet. But she said that she could put up with the pain since it was doing some good.

I think today she looks really really good. I told her that she hasn't looked this good in a long time. She looks so pretty and her color in her face looks better than it has in the last week or so.

Continue to remember her in your prayers.

COME MEET LITTLE "JO"

Delight has had a pretty rough week this week. Wednesday she had to go back to Dallas to have fluid drained from her lung again. They got about the same amount as last time. She had just gotten to the point of not being able to breath very easy. She said that she thought she needed an oxygen bottle. But today she is back at work feeling a 100 times better than any other day this week. She has been down stairs giving a tour to some 3rd graders from Central School!!!!

Blu, Jennifer, Kaylee and little Jo are coming in tonight. Delight is looking forward to seeing them. We are giving little Jo a shower tomorrow. Come on over between 1 & 2 and meet "JO" I'm sure they will be happy to show him off.

Have a Good Weekend!!!!

GOOD WEEK

Delight is having a pretty good week. Other than not being able to sleep much at night she has felt pretty good. The only thing bothering her this week are her hands and feet. She has been getting up at night and having to take hot baths to help ease the pain. The doctors office told her to be sure and take her pain medicine as often as prescribed. I think that is helping her some.

She started her chemo pills again this week. After she finishes this round of pills she will have some scans and will go and visit with the doctor.

Right now everything is going good!!!
