November Update (and Chapin turns 20!)

It's a cold and ICY November Sunday and I thought I would do a quick update....

Things are settling down a bit and while Matt's fatigue is FINALLY improving, that dang neuropathy persists, and likely will for awhile yet the drs say. One thing that has made a positive difference is that he (Matt) is working only 4 to 4.5 hrs a day - he thinks this really impacts not only how he is feeling at the end of any given day, but we can also tell he is much better as of Friday night. Yeah!

The meds still make him a little spacey but all in all seem to be helping. He is going to try to start going to the club more regularly (Cathy too!) to swim in the lap pool and soak in the whirlpool and that should help as well we think.

Wednesday marks the one year anniversary of our trip down to Mayo, with the infamous Dr. O who stuck his hand down Matt's throat and announced he could feel the tumor in Matt's throat. Geesh! Such a road we have traveled since....

Chapin is coming up for Thanksgiving - yeah! - Madalyn will be staying in Florida (big game at FSU!)...And then both kids will be coming home on Christmas day - all excited already....

Hope everyone has a great Turkey day!
