Back from the test/Good Afternoon

Hi everyone, and how are you all doing on this Monday?

We just arrived home from the hospital about 30 mins ago. We had to be at the hospital this morning at 10 am for Lee's colonoscopy...or however it is spelled. Everything went very well. Lee said that the procedure was not bad at all, that the preparation....the liquid diet, and the gallon of stuff that you have to drink, is FAR worse than the test itself. Of course, they had him sedated, and pretty well out of it. But, all went good with the test, and one small pollup was removed, but the dr. was not concerned about the way it appeared, and was quite certain that it was benine. We will hear back the results from the test they performed on it in 3-4 days they said. So, we'll just continue to trust God that all is okay, as the drs. have concluded. This is a big relief!!! Thank God that all appears to be clear.

Naturally, since Lee has had NO solid food since Saturday night, once we left the hospital he was ready for food. lol So...we went to a little diner not far from where Lee works...they serve breakfast all day, and we enjoyed a great breakfast, and Lee was just really gettin' into this solid food....he had bacon, 2 eggs, english muffin, hashbrowns, and French toast. He said it was GREAT!!!! Landon's birthday is Wednesday, and when he was by here yesterday to bring Moriah back home, we went ahead and gave him his birthday present a little early. We got him a new grill...all he had was one of those little small tabletop ones, which was rather hard to cook on when we'd all get together and you're trying to cook for 8 people, on this little bitty thing. So...he was rather excited to see a big one. Of course, Lee told him that the only stipulation to him getting his b.d. present early, was that tonight...after having no solid food, and these test over.... and starving to death...landon has to cook him a steak for supper. So...later on this afternoon, when Moriah gets home from school, we are going to head out to Landon's and will get to try out the new grill.

It seemed funny not going in to work today. lee had found out about this test, way back at the first of May, so I had mentioned something to Aaron then, about having to have this day off...since I needed to go with Lee, as driver...he can't drive for 12 hrs....since he's had sedatives. He's not that dopey right now, but probably 90% of the time when we go somewhere, I drive anyway. Anyway, so I will be back at work tomorrow. It will make this week seem short, compared to the usual.

Lee's doing great. He's snoring in his recliner right now, and wants to rest up a bit before we go to Landon's. It will be good for him...I'm sure he's still a little out-of-it...with what they did. Plus, if he rests and relaxes some, i'm sure he'll enjoy the time we spend out at Landon's much more than he would if he was still worn out and tired. Regardless of how much they do, it always seems like these kind of things always take it out of you, even if it isn't an ivasive test. I'm just glad that it is over, and I know he is too.

I have run on to information about an herb that is widely used for the treatment of cancer, along with several other diseases, and problems. It's called pau d'arco...from trees native to South America,.....Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay...I believe were the countries. This herb has been used for 100's of years, and widley used by the Incas' and Azetc's. We've weighed all the information, and it does not seem to conflict with any of the problems that he has had. The main concern being that this tea...which I've read is the best form for ingestion...vs. pills, etc., has an anti-couagulant(?) effect, but Lee has never had problems with his blood clotting...and the problems he had with the blood platelets being so low, due to the tick bite he received 3 yrs. ago, have all healed, and are back to normal. There are several things mentioned that this herb helps with, and many of them Lee suffers from...#1, naturally, being his cancer. But, other than being a superb fighter of many types of cancers, it is also very beneficial in cutting down on insulin dependency in diabetics...which Lee is. It is also very beneficial in helping with weight gain, and Lee is a few lbs. overweight....probably about 30. It is also helpful in treating impotency, which unfortunately the diabetes has taken it toll, and it even stimulates the growth of hair...which Lee was tickled to hear about...considering that he doesn't have much on the top of his head anymore. lol It is also very helpful as a pain reliever, especially for arthritis, which Lee is getting a touch of in his hands, and considering he is a jeweler, and uses his hands for his work, it is sometime difficult for him...especially in the mornings. So....with this tea being so beneficial, for so many of Lee's symptoms, he's going to start on a small regement....2 cups a day, which is what they recommend as "normal maintenence".... I've read testimonials of tumors and cancers disappearing.... we will just pray that we see a miracle in Lee's case also. If any of you have heard anything about this herb...or used it...please let me know your thoughts.... I'd sure appreciated it. The herb again is called: pau d'arco.

Well, guess I'll head outta here. I've got to go change clothes...I wore a long sleeve shirt, jeans, plus a jacket to the hospital, becuase it is always so cold there. But, now that I'm home, it's warming up just a bit...and of course, much warmer outside now that it was this morning. I hope you all have a great day. We're just going to relax here, and do our best to enjoy the rest of the afternoon, before heading to landon's later. Will talk to you all soon!

Much love,
Lev
