Travis Tuesday

New Chapter….

Author Bio Pic

We met with the Radiation Oncologist  yesterday and it looks like Travis will be able to receive his treatments here in Lincoln :)

He is going to have a CT scan today at 1:00 to start the mapping process for radiation therapy.  Dr. Yiee is hoping to start treatment on Monday.  Travis will start another round of steroids (which they say has worse side-effects than the radiation alone)  on Sunday and have to take them the duration of radiation to prevent brain swelling.  They are estimating at this time his treatments will be Mon-Fri for 6 weeks.

Travis is improving at Out Patient Therapy at Madonna every day!  He will be tested again at the end of this week and I think he will go down to 2 or 3 days a week instead of 5!

Travis  has been helping out here at home a lot more.  We are currently trying to potty train the boys and it can be quite a challenge yet very humorous at the same time :)   I just hope we win this battle soon as-well :) :) :)

Thanks again for all of the encouraging words and continued support :)

Be Well,

Karla ;)
