Well, we are still in PICU and Shantel seems to be showing small signs of improvements each day. She is still on high doses of steroids and continuous nebulizers which they have slowly reduced the amount. The positives are she is awake more and eating. Last night she even played bingo.......every Tuesday night is bingo night for the kids. The Dr. said her air movement is better but she still struggles to breath if she moves too much. Her heart rate is slowly coming down as is her rate of breathing.
Mom is doing well. She wasn't able to have her chemo this week because her drain site became infected. She's back on antibiotics and it's clearing up. Her blood counts were good as was her cancer maker test. Dad and Mom have been enjoying their summer in NY. They will be coming back to NC in Sept. when Mom has here check up and is scheduled for a stent replacement.
Our lives are day to day.......sometimes minute to minute......but as my Dad reminded me just the other day that God loves Mom and Shantel more than we do and He has the perfect plan for them.
