Mickster, how is your Dad doing with his treatments? You and he are in my thoughts.

Asking for thoughts and prayers to be sent our way too. Last night my Mom's husband fell and broke his hip. Yes, this is the gentleman with stage 4 medullary thyroid cancer which has spread to his liver and pelvic area. He will be having surgery tomorrow afternoon here in CT on the hip. He was supposed to start a study program up at MA General Thursday. Won't be able to go now.

 

[Mickster]

Phooey! Holy cow. I will keep him in my thoughts and prayers.

My dad started another round of chemo on Thursday. His numbers weren't quite low enough to start the recovery phase, so here we go again. He did get a chest x-ray and other tests and everything else looks clear and the doctors are very pleased on that front. He's just really tired of being in the hospital. He is scheduled to come home around Halloween. Please keep sending him your pixie dust and good thoughts. He is in great spirits and I know it is working! Thanks for asking!

mickster,
sending you lots of love, hugs, prayers and pixie dust!


someone (very wise) once told me when i had a situation this little saying...

put a penny in your pocket
and that penny will be me
and
when you need a hug
reach in your pocket
and there i will be!

i can't tell you how many times i have used this in the past and it really works for me!!!!!
i told this to one of my very best friends one time when she was really having a hard time in her life and now we use it all the time. her and i.
sometimes if i've got something going on and i've talked to her about it, i will come out of work and there will be a penny on my seat, on my windshield... she just leaves them for me! she has even sent me one in the mail. no note, just the penny.
so long story short, substitute the i and me and put us (for your friends on the dis) and we will be with you when you need us!

I love this- I think I'm going to share it with a friend of mine who we live too far away from each other.
I'm keeping all of my Dis family in my prayers.

C-section in 4 hours. Any prayers of well wishing and that I don't freak out too bad (surgery doesn't make me nervous, being awake for it does) would be greatly appreciated.

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Congrats MLP! Just keep reminding yourself that soon you will hear that precious sound of a newborn baby cry!!!!
Post when you can again to give us all the stats!!!!

 

[Lisa]

Ohhh, MyLittlePiglet had her baby!!!! Great news to hear today.

Stepfather's surgery went well, they put in a ball and pinned the hip. I know, OUCH. His blood pressure kept going down, he lost a lot of blood, and needed a blood transfusion which earned him 24 hours in ICU after the surgery. But he was very alert afterward just a bit tired.

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Good news about your Stepfather Lisa. Continued prayers...

DH went in for his comparison MRI today so we will know results for that next week... Prayers that things are looking good for him!!

[mommyoftwinfants]

just checking in,
mickster how has your dad been.
congrats mlp
hope everything is still good lisa

 

[Mickster]

Once again, thank you everyone for your prayers and pixie dust!

My dad just got his most recent test results back and his numbers look really good! He, right now, has no bone marrow (which actually is a good thing...). He'll be getting meds this week to encourage his body to make good marrow and should be feeling better by the weekend or early next week. He is coming home from the hospital on Halloween! Although he isn't "out of the woods" yet, his scans have been clear and the doctors are really encouraged by his progress. Please keep him in your thoughts.

you got it mickster! prayers, hugs and pixie dust right at ya!
glad to hear some good news!!!!

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Great to hear Mickster!!! Continued prayers, pixie dust, and hugs!! Keep us posted!!!

 

[Mickster]

Well, now we got some bad-ish news. My dad has pneumonia. He'll be taking some pretty heavy duty antibotics to battle it, but he's already so weak. His bone marrow numbers haven't gone back up yet. He was hoping to come home soon, but now we don't know. Please say a prayer for him and my mom. They need all the help they can get. Thanks.

 

[ddavis860]

and prayers. Sorry to hear he has this complication!
