Thursday, Jan 22nd
We love it here. Buel had an appt this morning with Dr. Rivers. He reviewed all of his previous medical records and told us that he had to stop the downward spiral that he was in. He also told us about some more lymph nodes that were in the Nov. CT scans that we were not even told about. He has ordered a CT scan of brain (he said no filters between lungs and brain and it had to be checked for cancer or any blood clots), CT of abdomen, spine (back hurts) and I can't remember what else. Those scans start at 8:30 am Friday, Jan 23rd. We are seeing a Naturopathy Dr. today at 4 and a Nutritionist Friday. Buel weighed 141 lbs today with clothes, shoes, etc. Dr. Rivers said they had done the wrong test on his (2005 tumors) cancer tissue this past summer so he has already ordered the correct test from Baylor and hopefully will have that soon. They have moved up our "Treatment Plan Review" from Wed the 28th to Monday, the 26th. So we will know by Monday what he wants to do. He has already put him on Predinozone (sp???) to give him more energy. I am very excited about this place and it appears that we are going to get the "correct" help. He wants to do the latest and greatest and get this downward spiral stopped. Will post more tomorrow. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers. God bless each one of you. Thanks for the comments Betty. I am reading them every day so please feel free to leave a comment. Thanks.

Teresa, several have contacted me and asked that I let you know that they are following your blog but have had some difficulty posting. Brenda Lennon, Pat Smith, and Brenda Thorn have all sent emails that they are following this blog. I did send the link to Bro. Larry and Bro. Royce as they both are interested to know how things are going. Thanks for keeping us updated--sounds like they are doing different things to help.
