Friday we came up to OKC to meet with Stevan's new doctor, Dr Hummer, intern for endocrinology, who will be working on his adrenal gland deficiency. We got up at 3:30 this morning to get on the road for pre-lab work at 8am and then a series of blood draws after a dose of medicine to see what his adrenal gland is doing. They believe that he doesn't really have an adrenal problem, but after nine and a half rounds of Revlimid, it has his adrenal gland temporarily not working. This lab work today should tell her what's going on with it as well as if there are some other issues going on that we are not aware of.
This afternoon we meet with Dr White, Orthopedic Oncology, about Stevan bone infection issue. We are hoping they tell us that all looks good and the infection is cleared or clearing up. He will have some x-rays taken of his arm and possibly more blood work. Poor guy is always getting stuck!
School started for me last Monday. We got kids in the classroom on Wednesday. Another year has begun. Did I mention I'm also taking an online graduate math class this semester? Yeah... Like I don't have enough to do... I know. With this class and one more in the spring, I should be ready to teach college full time, if I'm given the opportunity.
Off for now.... More info when we have it.
Us before Myeloma
Celebrating our 5 year Anniversary a few days early. Wow! We've both changed over the past few years.
