Weekend update

This weekend has had it's up and downs. But I am going to concentrate only on the ups, because that is what we need to hang on to.

• Aunt Mary arrived early this morning at 1:00 am and her luggage arrived this afternoon at 1:00 pm. She traveled all day and got an upgrade to First Class!
• Elizabeth has convinced Mary that she needs to see Beverly Hills Chihuahua. This will be Elizabeth's second time to see the movie.
• Mike had 2 three hour naps yesterday that were without pain. He spent another sleepless night, but we are praising God for the naps.
• I got a b-12 shot yesterday!
• We slept until 9:15 am today.
• Tomorrow, Elizabeth and Aunt Mary are leaving for Orlando for a special trip for Elizabeth. They will be back on Wednesday.

We have made some changes to Mike's therapies right now.

• The IV infiltrated today, so Mike did not receive his Vitamin C IV.
• We are starting 20 days of Haelan treatments. This is a natural Chemotherapy for the liver and it comes from China. It is a fermented soy thing...
• Mike is receiving embrotic duck egg/cells that are infused with extra minerals. This comes from Japan and is this little bottle full of crunchy cells. They are freeze dried. We are mixing it with a little bit of orange juice to make it easier to take.
• Tomorrow, we will be emailing the MRI to a few doctors - one in CA, one in Dallas, and one in Jacksonville, FL to see if the tumor has shrunk enough to possibly have it removed. I am not keen on this because I know this surgery is very risky and will change the rest of his life. But we want to see if it is still an option.
• We will be doing an ultraviolet treatment for Mike's blood starting on Tuesday. His blood is run through an ultraviolet machine and then put back into him. It is supposed to cleanse the blood. I should know more about it, but I can't remember the details at this moment.
• We will be starting his Vaccine tomorrow as well. This was developed for him out in Washington. He will be taking 3 shots a week for at least 6 months. It is really kind of cool. They took his urine and created a specific antibody treatment just for him.

God is so good to us. I think that I have been wishing that we could go home, but I need to be where Mike can get better and stronger. We have had such amazing news this week. Really good news. The MRI said that there is no ascites around the liver. But what that means is that the liver is still functioning. When the liver stops functioning, the waste builds up around the liver and that is called ascites. It is the beginning of the end. Also, there is no cancer in the pancreas. Again, that is huge. God has given us more time to fight this and reverse it. To God Be the Glory for the Things HE has DONE!
