Colorado news.

Glenda called this afternoon from Colorado. They will be home via train on December 8th. Aaron is now fighting pneumonia. The doctors in CO did all sorts of scans and discovered that the cancer has spread to both lungs and the original mass is bigger than ever. She started a new form of chemo as soon as they got out there and had one treatment. She will have a second treatment as soon as she gets home. Send positive energy and prayers. She needs them.

Colorado

For the people who are still checking in here, I apologize for not updating more. Aaron, Kyle and Glenda left for Colorado the first week of November. Tiffani is staying with her dad for the month. Meggie (the dog, of course!) is hanging out with us.

Before Aaron left, the doctors discovered the Tarceva was not working anymore and the spot had grown a bit. She was taken off the Tarceva and arrangements were made for a new course of chemo to stat while in Colorado. The hospital she was going to is where Tarceva was developed, so that is rather cool. Everyone here in NY was great in helping to make sure that all of Aaron's needs would be met while in CO. - The oxygen company gave them 3 travel tanks and arranged for oxygen to be delivered to Ann Marie's house.

In my last post, I misspoke about the blood clot. Apparently she had arrhythmia, not a clot. Not quite sure how I got that wrong. Glenda and I have not spoken since they've been away, so I do not know Aaron's current status.

It seems a little ironic to write Happy Thanksgiving, but have a happy day. I'm off to make pies.
