Home Again

Brian and I got home Sunday night after being delayed in Denver overnight. Saturday we missed our connection from Denver to Scottsbluff due to boarding issues in Milwaukee. We had only a 30 minute window to make the connection. Frontier put us up in the Renaissance Hotel with food and future travel vouchers. We made it to the hotel in time to watch Nebraska get beat by one point. Brian slept most of time until we continued back to the airport on Sunday. We were delayed again by snow and had to wait couple hours to get on the Scottsbluff flight. But we made it safely!

Brian had surgery on Thursday to get his central line removed. He developed an infection in it and it had to be removed. Fortunately the infection was still localized and they were able to give him IV and oral antibiotics. He did have to be put under general anesthesia, then get Chemo later that day in a peripheral IV site in his arm.

Brian saw Dr. Vashi again. He told Brian he will do an other EGD scope of the esophagus and the colonoscopy at the next visit so Brian will only have to be sedated once. Next time Brian will also get another CT and possible PET scan to see how his treatment has progressed. We are hopeful he will not need any more Chemo! Our next trip to Zion will be on January 3rd. Brian and I will be flying out of Scottsbluff to Denver and then to Milwaukee again due to lower cost. We will fly home again on January 6Th.

Brian was given enough steroids to get him home and now he is feeling the effects of his chemo. He is dizzy, shaky, and very fatigued. He has trouble with his vision too. He will get better.

The holiday season is upon us and this is the first year Brian hasn't had to deal with the Postal rush in 31 years. I am thankful that he does not have to endure those postal stresses so he can concentrate on healing himself. I am also thankful for all the support and prayers! May your Christmas times be happy.
