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 …
CT scan results
Dr. Schertz called with the CT scan results…… THE TUMORS ARE SHRINKING!!!!!!!!!! Since Dr. Schertz called Josh I don’t know how much they have shrunk because Josh didn’t ask but at this point I will take any shrinking! This post was posted on Tuesday October 02, 2008 at 1:39PM
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 …
Todays update
Josh is feeling better today. He has been eating. He is still experiencing some pain which is to be expected with the chest tube still in. Hopefully, it will come out tomorrow..it all depends on the results of tomorrow’s x-ray. Speaking of x-ray….they come in every morning to get the x-ray at 3:30am! The latest …
Indiana bound
Surgery yesterday went well. We got to RMH at 7am and immediately talked to the surgeon who said that it would be later in the morning before they were ready for Josh because someone else was going first. About 15 minutes later the anesthesiologist came and got Josh, they were ready for him. I don’t …
Todays Dr. appointment
The appointment today lasted over 2 hours. When we got there Dr. Schertz still had not heard back from Indiana University. Josh still can’t get the nausea under control so we spend about 15-20 minutes going over a different “cocktail”. After that we discussed some concerns Josh had over his lung and feeling that it …
