Changes

Mom had another appointment yesterday with some more good results. We found out there were two measures of her protein count that were cut in half since last month which is a continued indication that her outpatient chemotherapy is successfully fighting the myeloma in her body. We like these kind of changes! :-)

However, the appointment also presented an unanticipated change for Mom. Unfortunately, her heart rate has not rebounded enough to satisfy Dr. Bhushan. So a different treatment option was recommended that would exchange her daily pills for a twice weekly IV treatment. If we settle on this option, Mom will begin coming to Dallas on Tuesdays and Fridays to transition to this new treatment - certainly a change of pace for both her and Dad.

Then today, through our "inside sources" within the Dallas medical community, we learned that Dr. Bhushan plans to move from UT Southwestern to Baylor (where Erin works). We are currently in the process of learning what this means for Mom's overall treatment plan. Will she move to Baylor or will she have a new doctor at UT? We anticipate both changes and choices either way.

Last night, we went to see cousin Steven Trout (#16) play baseball in Fort Worth. The Horned Frogs lost to the Sooners by just a little bit, but it was still fun to watch Steven play while munching on Pot Belly sandwiches. Yum! :-)
