Red Beer

Subject for the day was Red Beer....Dr. Barnett (Roger's Oncologist) never had heard of Red beer until this week and Roger telling him about it....He is this very sincere, baby faced, well informed Dr. that has won our hearts with his desire to give Roger the best he knows how to give.....this appointment needed to be more light hearted and matter of fact than the last one...the last appointment was very heavy and hard for all of us. So, Red Beer came up and we ran with it.
Today Dr Barnett really listened to Roger and what Roger wanted....I asked, of course a lot of questions and Dr. Barnett was very willing to answer them and explained a lot to us. He is all for Roger taking a break, but has urged him to think about continuing therapy and so does his nurses...Roger will think about it, meanwhile Roger is doing some unconventional things and is not in a great deal of pain and even getting an MRI tomorrow to see if he can get back to playing a little golf without breaking bones that have been destroyed by his cancer.......
All in All it was a very good session with the Doc. Roger got his dose of Zomita and his Hormone shot.......
Roger still reads a lot and laughs at me whenever I can be funny enough for him to laugh at me.
We are staying positive and thanking everyone for the prayers.
Aunt Wilma is finally home again after two weeks in the Hospital with Pneumonia and her Congest. heart and her COPD and a lot of other things....she still has her wits and mind about her and wanted to try it again at home......my adorable Colbie had her heart appointment today and the verdict was heart surgery, but Chad is researching and is reluctant because of lack of evidence. He doesn't want his precious baby daughter to undergo something that may not be necessary....but I know that it is inevitable....he is just scared and needs more time....I know that she will be fine, even Tina says lets go ahead with it, but Chad is her daddy and is very apprehensive of it all....and I don't blame him....she would be cared for at Children's Hospital and I know that she will be fine, but it is hard to give your child to a surgeon that you don't know and give permission to work on her little heart......
Well enough for now.....I could go on and on......but the real message in all of this is that we are thankful and blessed and loved to the fullest.......
Make it a great day, month and year
Lovingly Dianne
