No new news. Just an update on Ruth/Mom/Grammy's condition. Mom continues to heal from the effects of the radiation. The wound on the outside of her neck gets smaller and smaller each day and is hardly noticeable unless you know it is there. The wound on the inside is what continues to give her fits. It continues to produce excess phlegm and mucus which makes it hard for her to swallow effectively. She can still swallow her daily pills, but she has a really hard time with all kinds of food. Because of this, she takes all of her nutrition through her feeding tube. We know this will end and eventually she will be able to eat again, but as she endures this time of her treatment, she still needs your prayers. Prayers that the cancer continues to shrink. Prayers that the excess phlegm and mucus dissipate. Prayers that her ability to swallow returns soon. Only a few more weeks until we return to Dr. Barker for an update and I will let you know what he says and when her CT scan and/or PET scan will be.
Thanks again for your prayers!
