Update Friday, August 4

Just got off the phone with Mom.

Kristin and Joseph are now there taking care of her.  Mom has certainly loved the constant care and attention.

Mom visited her primary care doctor on Wednesday and the Dr. said everything looks good.  She is to continue to stay on low dose of medicine to lower her blood pressure.  She returns in 8 weeks for another visit.

Mom mentioned that she sneezed this week for the first time since surgery.  She is not supposed to sneeze.  She did figure out that you can sneeze through your mouth only.  Try that one next time you have a sneeze!

She visits the endocrinologist on 8/11 for results of biopsy.  At that visit they will also schedule her for surgery to remove the mass on her thyroid.

On 8/11 she also visits a neuro optomologist to see if there was any damage caused to the optic nerve as a result of this whole thing.

She talked with Jim today.  He will be in Spokane and then Vancouver because his daughter and her husband live there.

Mom, Kristin and Joey went over to UD's and AL's house last night.  Kristin and Joey were able to go swimming for a little bit.

Kristin mentioned that she developed about 30 rolls of film that my Mom has had for years.  She got them put to CD and she will be sharing those soon.  It will be fun to see.

Mom is doing great!  She is making great progress.  Keep her in your prayers.

Thanks,

Nathan
