Kent and I went to the cardiologist last week for a follow-up exam. The good news is that there seems to have been no permanent damage to his heart from the Churg-Strauss Syndrome. That is a big relief for both of us. Next week we will have appointments with both the rheumatologist and the neurologist. Kent may need another infusion of chemo, but we hope not.
I hope we have more good news after the upcoming doctor appointments.
Kent has been experiencing more numbness in his right hand and his right leg. It is probably because of the doctors have been changing the dosages of some of his medication. It is hard to know if the side-effects of the drugs are worse than the symptoms of the syndrome. I think the doctors will soon get it figured out. At least I hope they do.
Meanwhile, we appreciate all the thoughts and prayers you send Kent's way.
