We went RVing yesterday. Yes, it was our family’s “Adult Day” so I rented an RV so all of us could ride together instead of trying to caravan around the City. By having the RV, Roger was able to participate in the day’s festivities and if he got tired, he had a bed in the back [...]

We’ve had a good 3 days here. Roger is feeling pretty good and able to be out and about more than usual. Saturday we made a run to Sam’s Club to get his glasses tightened and also do some looking around since he’d not been out for some time. It was just fun to roll him up [...]

Roger is feeling better each day and getting around much easier too. He had problems with stomach cramps the first day after the procedure but those have subsided. He went in for his routine blood work yesterday and I’m happy to report that his blood level (hemoglobin) is up to 9 which is really good [...]

We won’t know the results of the test until we meet with her on his next appointment, January 4th. Yesterday, however, was a [...]

Today is our grandson, Brayden’s birthday. He turned 9 years old. Very hard for us to believe! We spent a fun afternoon with him, building a car at the “build-a-car” place. It is amazing. Brayden picked out the body type (a 2009 black corvette…Grandma’s favorite car…LOL) …gold wheels, red treaded tires, a silver spoiler and a [...]

Roger is having a rather tough few days. Lots of pain with the ascites for sure and some back pain. All this should be relieved with the tapping of the belly to drain fluid on Tuesday morning this coming week. He is ready for sure and if he didn’t have the appointment, I would be [...]

Well, it’s been a couple of crazy days much like a roller coaster ride after receiving the news on Monday about Roger’s health. I wanted to share with you an email that was written and sent by my sister Gigi and her husband Brad to all their email contacts. Brad created a page on Facebook [...]

Well, this is probably the toughest post I’ve had to put on this BLOG so far. We met yesterday with the Hepatologist, Dr. Little. She confirmed what we had already suspected that without a liver transplant, Roger’s live expectancy is approximately 3 months. She indicated that if he were already on the list today he would be [...]
