Well...the good news is here. We are going to be discharged by noon today...Lord Willing. We will be going back to the hotel for now. He is feeling pretty good. His legs are swollen, he doesn't have too much pain if any and his lungs are ready to go so it's going to be hard to hold him back!!
For all of our visitors coming this weekend we will be at the hotel!

Hope everyone has a blessed weekend!

Our thoughts and prayers are with Alyssa Burns family...my heart just aches for them, the kids she went to school with and her boyfriend. I lost one of by good friends in High school (Ashley Jackobson) and it's not an easy thing to go through!

    Hi Brent and Trudy, Glad to hear that you are out of the hospital and back to the hotel. Just keep pretending that you are on vacation! It is so hot that you can pretend you are in Florida. I feel for the ones that are walking in Relay for Life. We plan to go to Wiegand Family Night to eat and then to the relay if we aren't too hot and tired. Keep smiling. Love, Duane and Eileen

Dr. Alex was just in. Nothing really new. Pretty much just waiting for those tubes to come out. He explained his meds and when we will need to come back for appt's with him etc. He is one of the nicest Dr's that we have...I say one of because we many that are nice! Here are a couple pics of him when he was in here with us not even 10 min ago! Enjoy! PS. I have to admit the Coyote movies weren't that bad...rachel!

Good evening! First thing this morning we went to Chicago to meet with the Dr who will be over seeing Brent’s photopheresis treatments. We had all of our questions answered and are hopeful that the treatments will work.  His first treatment will be Thursday morning of this week and we will have to go again on Friday. The treatments have to be done in Chicago and-we were glad to hear-the treatment will only be 2 hrs long!! The one side effects he has is that he can’t be exposed to the sun the first 24 hrs after treatment. This is because they use UV light in the treatment and it takes 24 hrs for his body to absorb any excess of the UV sensitive drug that may be in his body.    Other than that he should feel the same as usual!  He was also scheduled to get a port (under the skin) placed today. After checking his arms they concluded that they didn’t need the port because he has great veins!  We appreciate all the love, support & prayers everyone ha...
