It has been three months since I posted, a really long three months. Jodi is having a set back with her treatment, as her heart is not doing as well as it needs to be doing for her to continue. The medicine that they are giving her now is very hard on the heart, they do a test on her heart every three weeks before her treatment. Her last test numbers were too low , so they have to waite for her heart to heal before they can continue. Apparently the heart is weakened by the medicine, and it does not contract hard enough to pump the blood out of the heart. She is told that time off the medicine will heal her heart, so she just has to wait until her heart is working well enough to start the treatments again. I suppose that it will just extend the treatments past the scheduled October.
I think the whole process of treatments has finally caught up to her. She has been so strong , and it has amazed me how she can keep going and be so happy and positive. She is still very tired, and because of the financial load she is carrying, she has to be working full time. I wish I could just hold her while she sleeps for a whole day.
Any encouragement for her would be appreciated. We love you Jodi! Hang in there!!!
