A new doctor, a crash, and a wedding

Johnny and I now have our own Superhero in our battle with cancer.  On Wednesday we met with Dr. Eric Serrano for over an hour.  We’re lucky that there are a lot of good doctors in this town, but when your doctor comes into the room dressed as a superhero (okay a superhero t-shirt)  and gives you a hug you can’t help but feel loved and special.  Dr. Eric has so much fun in the office I don’t believe you can find a photo of him in regular doctor garb. In our time with Dr. Eric he pulled together a treatment plan that encompasses hyperbaric oxygen, myers cocktails, a review with additions/deletions of my supplements and some additional diet recommendations.  He went on to cover workouts, symptoms I’ve been dealing with, prescriptions and addressing cancer and keeping it in check.  Everything we’d been hoping for and more.

We went straight from that appointment to see Johnny’s surgeon Dr. Mark Lindsay.  He was pleased with how Johnny looks but very disappointed to hear that the tumor on Johnnys liver is growing.  Not much he can do, but he’s a kind caring guy and we’ll see him again in 6 months.

After a morning of appointments we were going to have lunch with Allen and Roger.  Due to some delays (those of you who know Roger understand) and my own afternoon obligations I couldn’t make the lunch.  So Johnny met the guys when they touched down at Bolton Field and had a little male bonding at the Galloway Tavern (sans alcohol).

Then Johnny got the call all family members dread.  On the final approach to the Fulton County Airport Roger and Allen’s beloved plane lost engine power.  Al did a great job getting the plane down.  They ended up in a ditch.  Allen is cut up and very sore, but also very grateful to be alive and well.  Roger broke his left femur and is in Medical College Hospital recovering.  He sounds great on the phone and he said that as long as he doesn’t move he’s feeling pretty good.   A very sobering event-but it could have been so much worse.

We’ll be doing things around the house this week excited to have some more guests coming soon.  Last weekend was Tia and Zach’s wedding. We made the trek to Toledo for that. It was great seeing everyone. And the wedding was beautiful by the way. We wish a great weekend to everyone and we love you all.
