Steve continues to get stronger each day. He’s still on the heavy duty pain meds, but has cut back to half of what he started with and will continue to cut back as he continues to heal.
Steve will now go back to Kaiser for regular monitoring with blood tests and CT scans and will be working with a team including the gastroenterologist and the oncologist who originally worked together to diagnose this and get us a speedy referral to Dr. Lowy. They will be consulting with Dr. Lowy as we go along to interpret changes in the test results as they occur.
After Dr. Lowy released Steve today, it truly seemed like “the first day of the rest of our lives.” We’re so deeply grateful for each and every day. God has been so amazingly present and faithful through the enormous ups and downs of the last few months and we’ve felt His love and protection and care every step of the way.
We’ll update things here on the blog occasionally and will certainly let you know right away of any changes or concerns. Right now no news is, indeed, good news!
So, Steve is feeling good and we look forward with thankfulness and trust to rich and blessed days ahead! Please continue to keep in touch by email or phone … your friendship, love, support, encouragement and prayers literally make all the difference for us. We love you all so very much!
