Weekend News




We got this neat medical kit (among other things) from the girls I work with in San Diego – it says “Nurse Jensen” on it. We put Jason’s heparin flushes in it!

We all really enjoyed our weekend at home. We miss San Diego! Debby will write more tomorrow about their weekend with pictures. Jason was having considerable problems with swelling in his right leg and arm so that, among other things, made his trip home a bit uncomfortable.

The day we left Houston, Jason saw his doctor about blurriness and floaters in his one eye. The doctor would only let him go home if he promised to see an ophthamologist on an emergency basis while he was home. Debby was able to get him in to see her ophthalmologist on Friday. She (the ophthamologist) said it looked like he had melanoma in his eye. This week he’ll get an MRI of the brain and CT scans of his liver and lungs, and see an ophthamologist at the hospital. Then we’ll find out from his doctor what’s next. We are also hoping to find out if his T-cells are growing to add to the interleukin – it has been almost 2 months now.

More later -

It was great seeing you guys, sorry I couldn't stay longer. Thanks for putting on the Fresno State game, too. I know you have both become huge Bulldog fans now. Ha. I'm sure you had a full weekend, but the game offer is still wide open. Let me know if want any and I'll send them out.
Take Care.
