David had his MRI on Monday, December 7th. We saw the doctor on December 9th and got the results.
Praise God there is no visible growth of the two tumors. They look to be about the same size, as far as the scan can detect.
The scan did show that David has had a substantial stroke. This accounts for his loss of sight on the left side. The doctor felt it warranted starting some preventive treatment as this seems to be the pressing issue right now.
He will be taking the blood thinner, Coumadin. He must stop the infusion chemo because of the side-effects and how it could impact this new issue. He will continue on the monthly oral chemo along with daily steriods.
The doctor suggested starting home health care. This will save us a weekly trip into the doctor for blood work and also begin to put into place help for the future, should we need it. We had our first visit by the nurse just this week.
David has been eating much better and getting around on his own here at home. We still need the wheelchair when we go out. He doesn't have the strength or energy to walk or stand for any length of time.
We thank God for everyday. We are praying that He will be glorified in our lives as we continue on this journey designed by His loving hands.

Hello David and family,
I just learned about your condition from Pam. (Thank you, Pam, for letting us know.) I am so sorry to hear what you've been through. I know you have your family and your faith to help you through this, and maybe you'll find comfort in knowing how much of an influence you've had in our lives. Zach has become an accomplished musician - he even teaches - and Olivia continues to entertain us with piano, too.
David, I will add your name to the prayer list at our synagogue. I would like to come visit if enjoy having visitors. And I'm happy to contribute food or other things you might need. Please let me know.
You're in my thoughts and prayers.
Ooops, the above comment is Pam Diamond!
