What a long day! We had to be at the hospital at 9:30 for prep for the CT scan. After the CT scan we had to wait until 1:30 to see the doctor. Neal took a nap on a bench while we waited. By the time we got home it was dinner time.
Good news…Neal’s tumor shows no change and there were no new tumors. His lower lungs show something but after consulting the pulminologist they feel it is just colapsed areas due to his meds. They were concerned about pnemonia and were talking hospitalization. They decided to wait it out and have another CT scan next Friday to compare. He is still on TPN but the dose is down to 1000ml. Neal’s weight is back down to what it was when he left the hospital. The weight he gained they feel was water retention. We are working on fattening him up but he doesn’t have much of an appetite. Juicing with protein powder has been a good option.
Since we are kind of obsessed over food and taste at our house I have been thinking about the verse in Psalm 34:8 “Taste and see that the Lord is good.” If there is a change in the taste it is not God who has changed but us. He’s good all the time.
On the journey,
