Blood and Images

Ed had blood work done today and the greatly anticipated MRI of his brain. The blood work is routine...to check platelets, red and white blood cells, coumadin (blood thinner) levels and dilantin (seizure medication) levels. The MRI is the second one after surgery and should be very telling. Keep him in your prayers...ask God to continue being gentle with Ed, and that the MRI will show improvement...shrinking of the tumor. He continues to have seizures. They are usually spaced about two weeks apart, but the last one came sooner. But it wasn't as severe as the last two. My mom is doing a good job of taking care of Ed. I wish she would get out of the house some and take some breaks, but she won't leave him. The only break they get from each other is when Ed has doctor appointments or tests, like today. She won't go anymore because she gets angry with the doctors when they don't say Ed is improving, and she ends up being depressed. I will be taking off work all or most of Wednesday to take him to the neurosurgeon and the oncologist to get test results. We need all your prayers!
