Unregulated and Sick

posted by:
Nancy Haslam

Ever since they reduced Nancy’s methypredisone and chemo, she has been feeling poorly.  She is experiencing nausea, chills and just a general feeling of not feeling well.  The doctors are trying to get an appointment for Nancy with a Dr. Koenig who is a specialist in the one disease she has, namely dermatomysitis.  Christmas Eve day and night she was so sick she only got out of bed for a few minutes and then went right back.  She is on a number of anti-nausea drugs, namely Zofran, Reglin and Lorazapan, but none seem to be a permanent solution.  Since her liver counts are extremely high and her white blood count is low, we’re not sure what the next step will be.  We are seeing the doctors at Huntsman again on Tuesday, Jan. 3rd and still anticipating a call back this afternoon.  Thanks again for your thoughts, prayers, dinners, etc.  -  Kevin

    Nancy and Kevin,

    So sorry to hear you are feeling so poorly. I got your well wishes and so appreciate them. We go to the Dr. tomorrow as well to get out my staples. Hope you are able to get some relief. I know I am so thankful to be home and have such wonderful family and care, as you do. Happy New Year, we love you all.

    Nance, I’m just heartsick to know you are struggling. I just wanted to let you know you & your family are in my prayers. You’ve always been an amazing example to me. Thank you for that & for allowing me to grow up spending time in your home. Some of my best memories are at your house with Sarah & all of our friends.
    Lots of love & hope for good days! xo, Lisa

    Love, Deridre
