The Crazyness Continues...

So mom got her last IV antibiotic treatment on Wednesday, January 20th. She went back on Thursday to get the final OK on the staff infection. She also mentioned to him that her hip is still bothering her from when she hurt it last September. (She stepped out of a grain truck really hard.) She had gone to the doctor then, but they just said that it wasn't out of place and to see if it would go away. Well, the doctor ordered a bone scan to be done in Kirksville on Tuesday, January 26th. They got the results later that day and it showed up as bone cancer in her pelvis. We all got really worried because she had just at a PET scan exactly 1 month before and everything showed up as clear. Now all of a sudden this pain that she'd had for 4 months was cancer. Well, they also sent the results to her oncologist and after looking them over he said that it wasn't cancer. He felt it was arthritis that she had aggravated back in September. He recommends that she go ahead and have radiation anyway because it could help with her mobility and pain. She has another appointment on February 3rd for her 12 week post brain surgery MRI scan. Hopefully the same spots from her 6 week scan. The woman needs a break!!

Oh the home front, we have all had the flu this weekend and week. Lydia started on Saturday, I started on Sunday evening, and Gail started early Monday morning. It took about 3 days for each of us to completely get over it. Lydia is growing like a weed. She now knows the alphabet song and will sing the entire thing with only a little help. We are all ready for warmer weather (I won't say spring, but just something about 35).

Until next time...
