New Update October 28, 2006.

So our modem needed to be reset... hence no new updates. So last Tuesday Indie went to get her Spinal chemo and infusion chemo. She did not have the same back problems this time. Yeahhhhh!!! She has to have help with bathing (to keep the central line dry and free of infection). Indie will update you all on how she is feeling. She seems to have gotten into the ritual of liquid chemo and pills. We still haven't seen any hair loss or swelling of her face and body due to the levels of prednasone that she is taking. Yet only 10% keep some of their hair so we are all hoping and praying. The swelling will come and that will be hard to deal with. At her age she will hopefully not internalize all the bad changes, realizing that they are only temporary. She will remain the confident and loving person that we all know.
On another note, our family physician Dr. Riggs told great grandma Allen at her last visit, that with all the treatments that they, "will give her another 70 years". He is the best doctor. Kind and compassionate with a sense of humor. If you are looking for a doctor he will not disappoint. Enough of the shameless plug for him.
And Finally the comments are great and we look forward with anticipation to reading them. Thank you all for your kindness, prayers and cards. They mean the WORLD to indie.
The Dunlaps.
