Update 9/1/15

Hi all,

 Devin has been making steady progress since returning home last week. She is healing and talking like crazy. We plugged her trach this weekend so we are really hoping they will remove it next week.  She has had enough of it.

Today was the first meeting with the radiation oncologist Dr. Lin. We really liked him. We met 2 other members of the team and look forward to meeting the rest of the team. They talked about all that needs to be done before we can get started. Most important is that Devin is healed enough. The radiation will be 5 days a week for 6 weeks and they will treat the mouth and the lymph nodes on both sides of her throat. It looks like it will be the end of September before we are ready to begin treatment.

Tomorrow we go back to Dr. Canaday to check on the infection and see where we stand. The wound care nurse who came today was very pleased so we are hoping for good news tomorrow.

Thursday we go to the oral surgeon as they want any dental work done before they begin radiation. After that appointment Devin will have a CAT scan of her chest just to be sure all is ok.

Thank you again for your prayers!  If you would like to donate to help Devin with her medical expenses here is a link to her Go Fund Me site. 

Until next time,

Hugs,
Rose
