On September 25, 2009, Rassie was diagnosed with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia. His symptoms: Swollen Feet and bruising. We never exepected a diagnoses of Leukemia. The Doctors and we ourselves, are very optimistic about the treatments available. We know that we have a long road ahead of us and we hope that you will support us on our journey to recovery.

Time for an Update

First off, Rassie has 8 more sessions of therapy approved! So four more weeks.  He's going twice a week now instead of 3 times.  AND after these 8 sessions he may be moved back to home therapy.  Which shouldn't be a problem.  We have a treadmill and a bike at home plus he has all that stretchy rubber stuff to do his exercises and should be able to do everything he was doing at physical therapy here at home with the therapist.

Rassie saw Dr. F this past week.  Everything is looking good. We saw lots of improvement in Rassie's right leg.  I love being there and watching to doctor go through all the movements.  You are really able to see the strength building up in Rassie's legs.  He's able to lift his leg. Kick it out some at the knee. He was able to bend his ankle up and down some.  It's just AWESOME to see this considering he couldn't do any of these things a few months ago.  He still has no feeling in his right leg from the knee down but he is able to get some movement out of it now!

I feel like I'm forgetting something... I just can't remember!  So I guess I'll remind everyone that Rassie has an oncology appointment coming up on July 6th.  Thanks for the continued prayers and support!

God Bless
