Tomorrow, Thursday, December 20 we are going to try and finish the Christmas shopping. The kids are already looking at the presents we have under the tree, trying to find one with their name on it. School Christmas parties for the kids are Friday and they are ready for the break from their routine. We all are looking forward to the family Christmas parties as well.
I have had many questions about how Tom is doing. There are nights that his breathing is more like a plan old snore; other nights his breathing still sounds labored. He is still waking up with his coughing fits a few times a night. He brings his Michigan blanket to bed with him many nights, much unlike in the years past where I am covered under all the blankets including the ones he kicks off and he always had the fan on. I think he is finally over all the flu symptoms which has been a long recovery road for him. Tom is still on one solid meal a day, which many times consists of cereal or soup. We are not sure what type of scans Tom will have whether it will be the CAT or PET. Also, I am wondering what his blood test will show in accordance with his calcitonin level. Tom thinks he wants to get back to work, but I am not sure his physical and mental capacities are in conjunction with each other. I keep telling him in each phase, "This to will pass" and not to push himself too hard. Thanks again for the support and encouraging words. It still amazes me how many people are reading this blog, friends and families of friends. Thanks for walking this path with us as we could not handle this by ourselves. Your prayers have kept us positive and your encouragement gives us hope.
