So, an update is in order... I had posted this on the family blog. Updates are hopefully in a different colour. :)
A couple of updates
1. My Aunt's (Annie (Jan's wife) from in holland) surgery went well. They'll know in a few days if the growth was cancerous or not. Just heard from my mom. Tante (dutch for aunt) Annie is doing well. They should hear in a couple of days now if she has cancer or not. She is feeling pretty good.
2. My mom-in-law got us an appointment with a doctor that she knows. He is hoping to get us in with a doctor in Ilderton who is bringing in a couple of new doctors. Would be nice for Justin to have a family doctor. He noted that our boy's ear has not healed over completely, and wants to see him again in two weeks to see how he is doing. He was a VERY nice doctor. If I could have a nice doctor like him for our family, it would be really nice. :) But time will tell. If the ear hasn't healed in two weeks he may refer us to a ear, nose, and throat specialist. We will see him again in two weeks, the same day that my hubbie leaves to go on a FYBO trip with a bunch of men. To find out more about that trip you have to visit the Magical Flying Camper Club. The forum about this trip is hosted here. So, we apparently have a new family doctor which our boy will be able to access soon. It is so good of God to use my MIL's doctor to get us a family doctor. It will make the overall medical care for our boy just a tad bit easier. I like having a female family doctor, my hubbie well...he's not so sure yet. :) This to me is answer to prayer.
3. My dad is slowly continuing to improve. Bad weather makes his joints feel worse. But overall he is thinking more clearly, and walking more upright. He is taking less meds as well which is a good thing. It will still be a long road to complete recovery. He continues to have a lot of muscle spasms. Talked with mom via the computer the other day. Apparently she and dad want to try a, okay, not sure what to call it. I think quakery...she thinks new herbal treatment. I've decided to really withhold judgement until I see how things go. Oh....probably shouldn't write quakery on here since mom reads my blog! Oops... sorry mom! :) Let's just say it sounds very odd and out in left field a bit so I'm feeling a HUH???? moment. And I'm thinking it won't cause any harm so I'll take a wait and see approach. It has something to do with a treatment on the feet that somehow draws toxins out of the body...and drinking??? barley grains/greens or something. Sounded odd. :) If it somehow helps dad to cope better or even heal up a bit more then WOOHOO!!! And if not, well then... new lesson learned. :)
