October 1st
Well, its been a month already – time sure does go faster when at home with more to do than we have hours. Andrea has been doing ok, her energy level and appetite have decreased even moreĀ sense school has started. She is doing real well with school work, just keeping up with it has been hard to do. She misses most Mondays and Wednesdays because she has to catch up on sleep, so that doesn’t help either. Called endocrinologist Tuesday to tell them about her worsened symptoms and they saw her Wednesday. As we had been told prior to radiation beginning – her putotary gland took 54 grey of radiation and to avoid damage you cannot go over 18 grey. Therefore she has some hormone chains that are showing up broken and they will run tests this Wednesday 7:00 am to find out which ones are broken and will give her meds for it. Then maybe she can sleep alittle less and enjoy Marching Band, school, community bandĀ and her horse and dog alittle more. She is currently taking a nap between school getting out and homecoming football game beginning tonite – so she can make it past 8:00pm. Then Saturday she will be at the school by 6:00am to compete in a marching band comp in cedar springs, come home take a nap and then attend the homecoming dance. Sunday she was going to do a horse show, but has decided she will most likely be too tired, has alot of homework and would really like to cheer her 4 H club friends in midland for e team regional comp. That is about all for now – will keep you posted on how the tests turn out next week. Thanks for checking in.
