I know it's been awhile, but until I have new news to report, I don't usually post anything. Yesterday, May 11th was my scheduled chemo day. My friend, Kathy Moser, from Steamboat drove over to take me to my treatment and visit with me while I'm there. She had just arrived at my house when I received a call from Sarah who instead of being at work like I thought she was, was in the process of taking her dad to Glenwood Springs to get an ultrasound done on his groin and right leg, which then led to her driving him all the way to Grand Junction to St. Mary's Hospital where he will have a procedure done today to stitch up the femoral artery where they went in two weeks ago to perform a cardiac catheterization. It seems that it never closed or healed properly, so it has been leaking and causing a huge hematoma that has to be drained. I am on my way in a few minutes to stay with Bob while he is in the hospital. We expect to be home on Thursday afternoon. Please keep us in your prayers. He is still scheduled to have an aortic valve replacement done on May 19th. All the pretests show that he is a good candidate for the least invasive procedure, so we think his recovery time will be about 3 weeks, with a 5 day hospital stay. The results of my blood work, echocardiogram, and CT scan are all good, with even a slight (2cm) decrease in size of the big tumor in my abdomen, and less ascides (fluid) present as noted on the digital images. My chemo went well and I feel fine to make the trip to Grand Junction this morning. Last May 1st, my surgeon in Denver told me that I had one month to live. Bob and I came home in a daze trying to wrap our heads around everything that we needed to take care of personally, emotionally,legally and financially while still trying to live as normal a life for the 30 days we had left. One year later, I am so grateful that I've had many wonderful days with family and friends, far exceeding my wildest dreams! My God is so faithful! He gives life, and he takes it away, and in the meantime He has extended His infinite compassion and mercy on me and my family. We look forward to a delightful summer in the mountains together - if it will ever stop snowing! I think God controls that, too! Love to you all. Will keep you updated, but know that no news is good news.
