Leif is getting
ready to start week #3 of Radiation and Chemo Treatment. Leif feels blessed
that 95% of the tumor is gone and that the remainder is being treated. Leif is
starting his day with nourishment, journaling, reading, listening to Dr. David
Jeremiah, and then off to exercise or therapy. Week #2 of Radiation and Chemo
is now complete. It is difficult and disorienting being strapped down to
receive the IMRT precision radiation. Leif wears a mask which is then attached
to the table during the treatment. Leif is learning how to handle this treatment
better. This week Leif will meet with his ST and PT therapist. Outpatient
therapy given by professional therapist has proven to be very instrumental and
helpful. Leif’s recovery has been maximized by outpatient therapy. Walking the
neighborhood is also helping Leif to stay strong physically. This week also,
Leif will meet with the Nuero-surgeon, Dr. Goodall. He is a great Surgeon who
helped Leif when he first needed help during his struggle with this tumor. Leif
will also meet with his current care givers this week. Blood work will be done
this week. The baseline pain is a #1 headache. This is a great blessing when
looking back at what has transpired in Leif’s life these last 3 months. Some
discomfort is still experienced around the incision area, especially following
the radiation treatment. Some deficits still need our prayers and the touch of
the Master.
Blog Faithful;
Thanks again for your steadfast support through prayer and helping with
practical needs. You are part of the healing solution. The Lord hears your
prayers and sees your hearts of faith. Details are falling into place! Leif
states, “You have been a great blessing”. Thanks be unto our God and King.
