Houston Update

Well, our visit to M.D. Anderson has once again been interesting. We have had some good news and some not so good news. Lets start with the good news, the MRI of Jeff's brain looked very good. There seems to be little if any evidence of tumor at this time. This is especially good news given the fact that he has had no treatments for a month. The not as good news is that we are still here. Friday morning Jeff woke up with chest pains and shortness of breath, like all good men he said don't worry about it, like all good women I ignored him. We were admitted to the emergency center where it was determined that he had blood clots in both lungs. He has been admitted and given blood thinners with the hopes of being discharged tomorrow if all goes well.

Here is the game plan as we know it today, once discharged Jeff will receive daily injections of blood thinner for six months and guess who gets to give him the shots? So guess who has the power:) The only draw back is there will be no treatment for a month while he is on blood thinner. However, the Dr. that we respect tremendously, feels very confident that this is an acceptable time frame. The other good news is we are looking forward to a full month of normalcy, Jeff plans to go back to work, back to a routine and out of the house! Jeff will not be joining us in Miami at this time but never count him out.

Thanks for taking this ride with us, keep it positive.
