Josh got to move out of the ICU today and into the PCU. He is doing well. The doctor is letting him eat and drink again. Tomorrow the doctor has ordered “activities” which I’m sure is walking the halls since he hasn’t been able to get out of bed yet. He is doing really well. …

Another surgery down
We got to RMH around 6:15 and got checked in. About 6:30 they took Josh back to pre-op and around 7:15 they called me back because he didn’t remember his medical history since May. I’m honestly not sure if he didn’t remember or didn’t care to keep repeating the information over and over again. About …
Another update
With cancer anytime you get good news and are smiling proudly something comes along and kicks you where it hurts and puts you back at square one. Josh starting being uncoordinated, lightheaded, and dizzy on Monday. We chalked it up to him being tired. On Tuesday he still had the same symptoms so I called …
Monthly Dr. appointment
No, we have not fallen off the face of the earth! Josh started back to work about 3 weeks ago so he has been really tired at night and I am working only weekends now so things are hectic here. Josh had another doctors appointment this week. He has gained 15 pounds since September. It …
First from Josh
Hello everyone! It’s Josh here. 🙂 Since I got sick in May, I have not really been able to talk to anyone, and my wonderful wife has been posting all of the updates on here for everyone. Now it’s my turn to post one. When I first got that dreaded call from my family doctor …

Update
Sorry its been a while since I’ve updated. We’ve had lots of things going on along with me working TONS! I’m working 80 hours this week…which should help out our financial situation. We have medical bills like you wouldn’t believe. We had met Josh’s calender year deductible with his insurance however, we have had to …
Phew, thank goodness we’re home
We got in yesterday afternoon, we were both exhausted! The flights home were interesting. We had a lot of turbulence from Indianapolis to Charlotte. We both hated it, Josh was scared and had I been sitting closer to the bathroom I would have probably just been in there leaning over the toilet for the rest …
We are here
Yesterday started out rough. I woke up sick so my mom called my doctor at home and called me in something that we picked up on the way to the airport. We got to the airport 2 hours early. Thankfully we requested a motorized cart for when we got to Charlotte. Once we got into …
Leaving tomorrow
We fly out of Roanoke tomorrow morning. We are both excited and scared, neither one of us has flown before. I’ve been a little under the weather today with allergies. I’ve taken all kinds of meds so hopefully I will feel better tomorrow but I’m not counting on it. We are both thankful to have …
