i suppose we have reached...

...that time when any little concern is immediately directed to a possible lymphoma-related problem. i guess they were a little pre-mature when they said the MRI was conclusive. the eye guys were back and are still concerned with the fact that tim has had this "double-vision" for almost 6 weeks now (although i can't see a problem with him seeing two of me everyday-can you?).

so, now monday he is going to have another LP (lumbar puncture. spinal tap, tim's worst nightmare). he is less than thrilled because of a bad experience a few weeks ago and a horrible 7-day spinal headache, but he has consented...like we really have a choice.

pray that this experience will go much smoother than the last one and that no headache will come and that the results will be negative for lymphoma. we believe that it is just a precautionary thing, but a necessary thing.

hope you are all having a wonderful sunday...tim is eating more and being weaned off his nutritional IV and by tomorrow should be on all oral drugs. each day we are seeing more and more improvements and they are now shooting for maybe mid-week to come home. he can't wait!!!

thanks for checking in.

Hi guys! You are right--the LP is just a precautionary measure. Better to get it over with now, than have to deal with it once he's home. We pray in Jesus name that he will sail through this procedure with flying colors and no headaches. Glad to hear Tim's eating and can soon get rid of the yummy IV "food" and also take his meds by mouth. Hang in there--you'll be home soon. Love to all, Kathy, Ron, Ronnie and Andrew
