What a Beautiful Day

Hello,

Sorry it's been so long. Life has been busy.  But as they say, 'No news is good news'.  And that's the case here.

Rassie had his tonsils out about 2 weeks ago. Nothing that I would consider major. They were just bothersome so he opted to have them out.  His throat still seems to be a little sore from it. Mostly when he yawns and so on and so forth because it stretches.  He had his follow up 2 days ago and they said everything looked nice.

Rassie has a leukemia appointment this month, next week to be more precise.  His blood work hasn't showed anything worrisome so things are moving right along in that department.  Rassie does labs Monday I believe and then his oncology appointment is Tuesday.  I will be able to update more on that topic after his appointment.

Rassie is also doing well in the way of recovering from his accident.  He has upgraded knee braces.. or maybe I should say down graded.  Rassie went from wearing the 'plastic' prosthetic knee brace to wearing a black one that to me looks like an athletes knee brace.   This is so he can bend his knee.  Rassie's right knee still tends to give out but he's doing great with the new brace.  The physical medicine doctor also had a driving evaluation set up to see where Rassie is at driving wise.  I think, and don't hold me to this, but I think it's set up for sometime in October.  We have to go to Austin.  The reason for this, is so if he needs anything special to drive they can look over the vehicle and see where we need to go from there. Fingers crossed Rassie  passes the driving evaluation and our car doesn't need any type of renovations.  Oh, Rassie is also starting another round of physical therapy. From what we keep hearing, he will be doing home therapy soon.  I guess that's still up in the air because it has yet to happen.  Rassie will also be seeing the third party doctor again coming up in November.   Guess that will help to decide what our next steps will be.

On another note.  Rassie's 1 year anniversary of being diagnosed with CML is coming up on September 25th.  And his 1 years anniversary from the accident is coming up on October 11.  I can't believe it has almost been a year for both of these things.  Life gets so busy and flies right on by.  Rassie has been such a trooper, pushing on through.

Sorry it's been a while since I last updated.  I have an update on myself as well. I did get the job as a 911 operator. I have been working the night shift. So, I come home and sleep during the day and spend late afternoon and evening with Rassie and our beautiful babies.  It's been an adjustment going back to work but I enjoy it.  And Rassie is doing an awesome job and taking caring of the little ones during the day while I sleep.  He now knows how much a job stay at home parenting is but I know he's enjoying every minute of it.

Thanks for listening to my rant.  Thanks for continuing to keep Rassie and our family in your prayers. 

God Bless & Good Night
