Monday September 19, 2011

I forgot to tell all of you in the last post I made that Josh had a cat scan last Thursday to see how the chemo did and they said that things look smaller and that they have a good hold on the cancer.  This is great because now he gets to have a big break before the next treatment.  He is doing so much better, he has gotten up everyday and worked really hard with physical therapy.  They say that he will hopefully be moved to a rehab facility a week from today.  They are just having a hard time finding the funding to get him into such a place.  We are really praying hard that they find a place because he is still not ready to go straight home.  The doctors have been cutting back his meds in hopes of having him off of some of it before he leaves next week.  The staff is training him on how to change and empty out his ostomy bag.  He has been trying to figure it out but is still a little unsteady with it at times.  This is all I have time for today, but I hope it catches you all up on his progress.  Thank you so much for all of your prayers!

Much Love,
Josh and Kalyn

I've been 'out of pocket" for a couple of weeks and finally got to read the blog. I'm glad to hear that Embyr loves preschool...she is one smart gal and so very sweet.
Take care and remember we are all keeping you in our thoughts and prayers!!
