Great Sunday!

We went to church at Heritage Place today and heard Pete(Sherri's husband)preach today. He is a VERY good speaker and I might add preacher! He preached on compassion and how we should show more of it to others around us. Afterwards we all went to eat together so it was great being with the family and catching up on things. Tara has 7 weeks left and Parker will be here. In time for Thankgiving. It was great seeing family and friends we have not seen in a while at the church. Dr. Frank Sutton being one of them. He was such a GREAT help and inspiration when Terry was diagnosed back in 2007. He made us understand what was going on and prayed for us that night when so many came to the hospital. I will NEVER forget it and to this day be grateful for him coming to our rescue. So many things going on right now! We are going to see a vascular surgeon at some point. T's feet are not getting the right blood flow especially in the foot that the blood clot was in. So they did a test and are sending us to the vascular doctor to get advice on what we should do. He went fishing and brought fish back to put in our lake. He likes doing that! John's CD release party on Sept. 25, hope we can stay up that late. My Mom is having an arteriorgram on Oct 2, Kristina will be 24 on Oct 3, an engagement party for Garrett and Kristina on Oct 10 and he is leaving going to boot camp in November. I am just SOOOO grateful T is here going through this with me. God knew I could not handle it all alone! T has eye glasses now and we are supposed to go back to the eye doctor to see about some contacts that might help too! He still has the GVHD in his eyes so they have stopped letting him come down off the immune suppressiom meds. So for now we are at a stand still. I will update after we visit the vascular doctor. Hugs and kisses! Love you all! Alyce

Great Sunday!

Bleeding Again!

We went to the BMT today(T went yesterday too) for photopheresis and we saw the doctor too! He had bled some yesterday after he got home but had stopped by the time I got home from work. He started bleeding again while they were doing the photo and continued to bleed after they pulled the BIG needle out of his chest(his port). They applied pressure, cold packs, vitamin K pill and shot and it finally stopped. We got there at 9 am this morning and left at 6:30 pm this evening. Terry and I are so tired!!! I guess I had forgotten how tired it makes you feel to sit there all day! I had mentioned the color of his feet and his toes hurting all the time. The doctor looked at his feet and did not like the color of them(purple) SO, he is going tomorrow for an arterial study on his legs and feet. Not sure exactly what they are looking for but he goes back to the BMT Monday for an INR test(coumadin level) and a dobbler on his legs and feet. I will fill you in on Monday when we get some results. I am going to check on him to make sure he has still STOPPED bleeding! We found out that another patient we had gotten to know passed away this past week. She was a very nice lady and we are very sad we will no longer see her at the hospital. Hugs and kisses! Love to all! Alyce
