Update on My Dad

I am so happy!

My dad went to the doc today for another CAT scan and they told him that the "infection" in his lung is breaking up, so the antibiotics seem to be helping. They will not be doing another biopsy procedure!

He will take the medicine for the amount of time he is supposed to and then they will do another chest X-ray maybe next week.

I am so relived it is not cancer :)

I took Brandon to a dermatologist this morning, he has a rash on his waist band and the doc said it was pertuss rosea (not sure if I spelled that right...) anyways, it is a rash one gets that is a virus and it has to basically run its course, until it goes away. I can use some hydracortazone cream, but that will only help it not be so red, it won't actually help it go away. So, at least I know he will be ok, too!

New Babies in the family

Here is Izabella Coralyn Orozco. She is the baby of Ponch's nephew, Juan and his wife Ciriana.
She is a preemie and was born on April 10th, 7 weeks early!

She weighed just 3.5 lbs and I am not sure how long she was. She is due to come home sometime this week, yay! She is totally healthy and a strong little baby. Congratulations to them!

This little girl, is Livia and she is my cousin TJ and his girlfriend, Harlina's baby. She was born on April 9th at 5:16 in the morning, weighing 7lbs 4.3 oz and 19 1/4 inches long.

Here is mommy, Harlina and baby Livia, both doing great! Congratulations to them!

Not sure why I didn't think to post these pics sooner, brain fart I suppose! Well, I will chalk it up to the weather, it has been hot here and over 80 the past few days, other then that I don't have a very good excuse.......check back for more pics soon.

Brandon Playing Video

Here is Brandon playing with a bucket of alphabet letters and numbers that are magnets for the refridge. He likes to dump them on the floor and bang the bucket around.

Random Pictures

Here is a picture of Ponch and the kids playing.

Here is Serena in her new Tinker Bell PJ dress with her wand and slippers (that don't fit, LOL)

Here is me with the kids. We took this picture and sent it to my dad before he had his biopsy a few weeks ago.

My Dad's Health~ Quick update

Well my dad went to the doc this morning and they told him that the biopsy was inconclusive. They didn't have enough "stuff" and they could not determine if it is cancer or what.

The doc gave him some antibotics and told him to take it for 2 weeks and maythe the "infection" will go away. well dad said he will take the stuff but not for 2 weeks, they need to do something else.

They will do another CAT Scan next week and they will go thru his side with a needle or something and get more of the "stuff" and hopefully we will find out what it is.

Keep the prayers coming...

Brandon Walking Video

Here is a video of Brandon walking with his walker! It is pretty funny and Serena is cute, too!

I am sure it won't be long now and he will be walking all over the place, without the walker, then I am in trouble for sure.

My Dad's Health

Well, I stand corrected:

Monday my dad had the lung scan.

Thursday, tomorrow he has the PET Scan.

Friday, he goes to the hospital, for the Broncoscopy, the biopsy.

Jeez, he has so much going on, it is hard for me to keep track.

Then, he has follow-up appts with his many doctors on the 18th and again on the 23rd.

I will try my best to keep this updated.

Keep praying, thanks a bunch!

My Dad's Health~ Quick update

Just a quick update....He went to the doc last Friday and had a broncoscopy on Monday, yesterday. I know I spelled that wrong, but that is how it sounds...

He got a call from the doc today and he goes on Thursday for this PET scan, this is better or should I say more advanced then the CAT scan, they will scan his entire body and look for anything out of the ordinary, then they will schedule the biopsy.

He goes to see another doc tomorrow, at 10:00, for a follow up, to make sure he is getting the best care.

Keep the prayers coming!

Remodel Pictures

Here is our house finally finished! This is the color we picked, we are happy with it.

My Dad's Health

Just a quick update. Dad is scheduled to go to the biopsy doctor on Friday in the afternoon.

Over the weekend, he decided that he didn't want to wait that long, until Friday for another consultation and then they will schedule the actual biopsy. So, he called the doc and he is out of town for a few days, so he called his general prac doc and she told him that unfortunately the other doc is just that busy, booked with patience. She told him that if he is still coughing up blood then he needs to go to the emergency room.

We will just have to wait and keep praying.
