July 28th update

The MRI results were good but I’m not doing any back flips yet. The results showed the inflammation and infection around the ankle is much better! The stress fracture is still showing up but found out today that it will. I guess it will scar and not be completely gone for awhile. We didn’t realize that, I was hoping for a clear “healed” picture.

The nurse practitioner said he could begin walking on it full time now for a couple weeks and see how it goes. We pray that it is healed and doesn’t cause anymore problems. If it does, I already have it worked out for us to be referred to an orthopedic Dr. I hope his main oncology Dr. agrees. She has been gone on vacation for a month.

Bennett had a good appt. He received the iv push of vincristine and his pentamidine breathing treatment. He received another infusion of the immune globulin. I hope this extra antibodies in the plasma infusion is helping keeping any infections away.

Bennett was really tired today with getting up so early this morning and having so many things to accomplish at the Dr. visit. We’re blessed and thankful all is going well!

    We too wish the MRI would have been conclusive. Great news that you can ditch the crutches and walking cast. We pray for continued healing. Enjoy the last weeks of your summer!
