It's a Beautiful Day!!!
Hello to everyone on this BEAUTIFUL March day!! Don't you just love it! :) Mom had her MRI done today with the Radiation Dr. Willison and Dr. Milton/Medtronic rep, Sheila by her side. Dad said it went really well, there were no complications.
She then went to Dr. Woosley's office around 1:45pm to have her Venous Doppler (ultrasound of her leg veins) and it did show she has a blood clot. They waited for Dr. Woosley to see them and he prescribed her Coumadin which is a blood thinner. Dr. Woosley said that will be fine for her to take since it's been long enough post surgery.
Mom will have her radiation mask made tomorrow, I believe around 11:45am?? They will fit it uniquely to her head so they can mark on it exactly where the radiation will be given. Dad said she will have 33 treatments in all. That's everyday during the week, not on weekends.
She is doing great with her stomach now. She is eating better, dad said she had a taco salad today and really enjoyed it. She sure does love those milkshakes!! yummy! :) I think they will be going back to Stigler tonight and then traveling again tomorrow morning! Please always keep them in prayer also for safe travel!
Thanks to Stephanie Quick and Grandma (GiGi) for helping mom during the day! She has so much fun doing her hair, getting massages, and getting make-up put on her! ;) We love you both very much!
We will keep you updated as soon as we know more! Thanks for all the prayers and love!! And also, please please pray for those other VERY SPECIAL people in our community who are fighting and battling cancer as well. To the Rose and Upton family, thank you for all your advice, support and encouragement through mom's journey....We continue to receive prayers and gifts from those who are also fighting! God Bless you all! You are ANGELS among us!
Blessings,
The Forrester Family

Please remember also, in addition to the Rose family and the Upton family, the family of Brenda Girty, wife of Dr. Mitchell Girty, from Porum. Mitch is the director of Alternative Education for Stigler Schools. She had the same type surgery Doreen did 2 days earlier than Doreen's. She is now in treatment. All these folks are in the hands of the best physicians, including the Great Physician. Keep them in your prayers. Betty McKee
