Things are looking better everyday. Ed is now eating, or swallowing I should say, creamed soups and protein shakes, plus the feeding tube twice a day. Also, still keeping Kentucky Fried Chicken mashed potatoes in business. All this is helping to gain his strength back and his humor. We went to the doctor Tuesday for the one month check-up. A little good news and bad. No teeth for 6 months, not a good news item. I guess the radiation causes the mouth to change a lot and awhile to return to normal. They will be leaving in the feeding tube until they do another pet scan which will not be for another two months. The tumor will hopefully continue to shrink and if there is any left over tumor they will try to surgically remove it. The lymph node on the left side is still very swollen, if it remains that way when they do the pet scan they will just remove it. He is having some hearing changes, high frequencies hurt him, guess we will wait it out. Amidst all the pain and and suffering God is still using him for his glory.
He is in the October issue of Blade magazine, two orders so far came out of that. Awesome.......he is very encouraged by something to drive him to get well. Keep praying, it works.
I was so blessed to see the two of you the other night! I was thinking about what you told me about Ed and being able to sing. Reminded me of the Drummer Boy in the Christmas Carol.
ReplyDeleteRemind Ed it's not the song God wants, it's the man! Love you both!
Hi you guys,
ReplyDeleteI just learned about ed having cancer & my heart goes out to you. I know & believe that what the enemy means for evil God is going to use it for good. The family & I are back in Vegas(long story) but know that you are in my prayers & we love you. Be blessed & encouraged.
Sincerly,
