So.. Tony's fever turned out to be a case of both the flu and pneumonia in his right lung. Thank God that his mother is here and is now trying to take care of both of us. She truly is an angel! I can't remember ever seeing him this sick! Tony is keeping his distance from the rest of us and is already feeling better with two doses of tamaflu and antibiotics in his system. We so appreciate the prayers, positive thoughts, cards, meals and well wishes on our behalf!
I called in the troops yesterday and was blessed with having time with Kendra as she filled in for Tony by giving me a ride to my followup apt with my surgeon. Good news- no more drains, tubes or stitches! Doctor was pleased with my progress and said that I should feel considerably better in the next week or two. I have pretty much weaned myself from the narcotic pain meds and have been feeling stronger each day. We're hoping to discuss the results of all the tests and the final pathology on the tissue taken during surgery with the oncologist next week.
We continue to be amazed by God's grace and feel incredibly blessed by the outpouring of love and support that we are receiving. Please keep the prayers coming - they are making all of the difference!
You so amaze me, more and more every day! Now we are feeling more sorry for Tony than you; you do have a gift of focusing on others more than yourself. I can see that you are feeling stronger every day, but be sure you rest. Also, make sure to ask Tony about his glasses and the hug I gave you in case he didn't tell you. You are such an inspiration! Love ya,
