keith has started feeling very yucky for the past few days. Mouth sores, throat raw, not eating. Milkshakes and applesauce is about it for food. They told us this would happen, so it is all "normal" so to speak.
Going to visit today, haven't been since Tuesday. Had to work wed, thurs, fri, then had to go to funeral home friday night and funeral today for a co-workers husband who lost his battle with cancer wednesday. I hate cancer. It sucks.
He will most likely get a transfusion of blood/platelets or both in the next few days.
Thanks for all the continued prayers and support. We really miss keith not being here, but hopefully another week and he can come home.
We will have 2 more weeks of "confinement" when he gets home. He can't be left alone for more than a few minutes during that time and he can't drive for 2 weeks either.
Ben and Bella are doing fine. Ben misses keith like crazy and bella just walks around calling Da-Dee, but we will get thru it!
Poor, Keith. It must be so hard to see him suffer.
ReplyDeleteHas he been told about Biotene products? They have a really gentle toothpaste and mouthwash that I recommend highly. They're great for cancer patients.
Many prayers coming his way, and yours, too

Hi Renee! :) I had no idea that any of this was going on with Keith and your family :( I guess it just shows how 'out of touch' people can become over time :/
ReplyDeleteAt any rate, I am so sorry to hear this ..and I cannot imagine what a difficult road this has been for y'all... but I am so thankful & glad to read that you have kept your faith and I know that God is taking care of you all in ways that only He can :)
Many prayers are coming your way..for Keith and his complete healing/recovery..for you to have strength, comfort, courage...for those precious little angels of yours (they are too adorable btw!) to have peace and comfort and courage as well.
I hope to read VERY soon about how you guys are back to your 'normal' (where's the fun in the regular 'normal' anyways, right? :D)
Much love & prayers,
Shannon Stecker (y'all knew me as Mills though..lol)
thanks shannon! thank God for facebook i guess! we have received lots of prayers, cards, messages, texts and lots of love and support. We are confident that God will see us thru this very difficult time. It is amazing that we have gotten the most awesome doctors and staff as quickly as we did. I am so thankful everyday for that. We are so grateful for all that we have even though it kinda sucks right now, we at least have each other and a fighting spirit and we will be better people because of this! thanks so much for posting!
ReplyDeleteshawn, I hope you are doing well! I think of you often and am praying for a speedy recovery for you as well. We need to get together when we are all better! Right now keith is on prescription stuff, but he has some biotene mouthwash at home too! thanks!
