June Update

We went to the doctor today for Don's June visit and learned everything remains the same as our last visit. The doctor said the CT scan was the same and that was a good thing - there was no change since the scan last year at this time. His blood test went from 307 to 309, but again, the doctor said that is not even a change, those numbers are as good as being the same. The doctor was very happy with Don's progress and told him to keep drinking the shakes!!

I know Don wishes it had been lower but I am good with everything staying the same - at least it is not worse. I know he wishes the blood clot blocking his portal vein had been smaller, but, it WAS NOT LARGER and that means a lot to me. He has been feeling very good since his last blood test so I don't think there will be much change in his energy or stamina. I think he just needs a little pep talk!

On another note, we attended a school this weekend to learn more about Don's nutritional shakes and met many other people with successful health stories related to Arthritis, Lupus, cancer, Multiple Sclerosis, Heart Disease, Diabetes, and weight loss. They were a wonderful bunch of people and we really enjoyed meeting everyone and spending time with them as we learned more about the nutritional shakes.
