Sorry for the delay on my part, update from Mom ...
Whew! Quite a week!
We saw the oncologist on Tuesday and were somewhat disappointed, after my third infusion of the Cytoxen, my CA125 only dropped from 559 to 549, not what we were expecting or hoping for. We really have no explanation, but at least it didn’t go up. I had my fourth infusion on Wednesday and started to feel the chemo flu coming on. Hopefully, this time won’t require 2 hospital ER visits.
Paul has been very sick for over a week with a nasty upper respiratory infection. When his fever lasted 6 days, accompanied by a horrendous cough and extreme fatigue, we headed for the Urgent care. After 24 hours on an antibiotic, the infection began to turn around. His energy is slowly coming back and still coughing but overall on the mend.
Also, this week we had a minor (and easily remedied) fraud problem on one of our bank accounts. After 4 hours sitting in the bank, we finally thought it was all settled. Last night we discovered another problem so tackling that today.
And to cap off the week, on Sunday, a young man (heroin addict) broke into our house while we were gone and stole lots of valuables: Paul’s laptop, IPAD, cellphone, almost $2,000 in cash, credit cards, clothes, Paul’s knife collection and some irreplaceable jewelry. He ransacked the house but didn’t “vandalize” it for which we were grateful. Paul had previously downloaded a tracking “app” on his IPAD. He called our daughter Beth and her husband Danny, who quickly located the IPAD using “findmyIPAD.com” On Danny’s computer. The police went to their house and while tracking the movement of the IPAD, directed police cars to where he was. They apprehended him and by 8:00 pm, we had 100% of our items returned to us. Additionally, the car was filled with valuables from at least 10 other families. Apparently, he had felony warrants and was part of a heroin burglary ring. Our primary feeling at this point is that no one was hurt and sadness for this 20 year old and the poor choices he has made in his life. Makes us feel so lucky about our kids.
And that’s that. Just another normal week in the Seymour home. Hope this finds all of you well, happy and appreciating all the good things we have in our lives.
