Good Evening! This update is terribly late. Brent's bronchoscopy went great. Dr. Love did find a spot that is gray in color that he thinks may be infection or a fungal infection. They put Brent back on a nebulized antifungal until the results of the tissues/mucous come back. He didn't seem terrible concerned because it was healing and if it was bad it wouldn't be healing. So things are moving in the right direction! He did do a SLIGHT ballooning on his L bronchial-but not much of anything-pretty much a precautionary thing/since he was in there. We were out of the hospital by 10:30 or so! We got home early afternoon after we went to Bass Pro Shop! All in all it was a great day but we are now heading to bed!!! YEAH!

Please keep Dr. Love's daughter in your prayers. She has some medical concerns. He is the one that put in Brent's lungs and he has helped us so much! We just pray that the Dr's that do take care of his daughter can do the same for him. We do not know what is going on medically with her (which is TOTALLY fine) but he told me they had to come back to Chicago for a few days and it was kinda stressful. So please keep him and his family in your prayers! He is such an awesome DR!!! Thanks so much Dr. Love!

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...
