Yesterday was John's one-month, post eye surgery appointment with Dr. Gable. The doctor said everything looks really good and is healing just as it should. He told John he didn't have to wear the eye shield to sleep in anymore. He said it starts really red and raw-looking, then gets better, then gets red again and then again gets better. He said he had dissolvable stitches in the eye and those should all be gone by next month. He said John's surgery was the first he had ever done where he used absolutely no anesthesia. Wow! Who knew? I guess John feels nothing at all. John said he wished he had known that and he would have messed with the doctor and said, "Ow!" in the middle of the surgery. Anyway, he is to continue using the steroid eye ointment and doesn't have to see Dr. Gable again until next month. Again, we are so grateful for all that God has done and continues to do. God bless you all for continuing to be supportive and caring.
Love,
John and Cathy

Last Trip to Chicago for Awhile! Yahoo!
Good evening all,
John, Cejae and I drove up to Chicago yesterday; John had a follow-up appointment today with Dr. Anderson, the neurosurgeon. John had an MRI done in December as a baseline for the doctor to look at post-surgery. We had not gotten the results of that, until today. Dr. Anderson said he saw no signs of the tumor at this time and we don't have to go back for a year. He showed us the MRI of the tumor before the surgery and the one after. We're not always sure what we are looking at, but as long as he sees no tumor, we are so thankful. He said John was doing well and he thought would continue to improve for up to 18 months. Praise God! It is such a miracle to know where John started and see where he is now.
His eye seems to improve daily. He still doesn't see well, but it looks better from the outside.
The doctor asked John how his swallowing was doing and John told him it was much improved. The doctor said it didn't look like John was losing any weight and, of course, Cejae and I laughed because it doesn't appear that any of us are losing weight. The doctor said, "Oh, I didn't mean it like that." And we knew that, but found it to be an amusing moment anyway.
The doctor also commented on how good John's attitude is and said that is such a big part of it. He really does have a great attitude. He is willing to try whatever they tell him to do. He does his exercises every morning. He does most of the laundry, a lot of the cooking and usually does the dishes. What a huge help for me. He has cleaned out most of the cabinets and does the sweeping. God took a good man and turned him into a great, Godly man. We never know how things are going to turn out or how people are going to react to them, even people we know well. But, in this case, it seems to have been a great thing. There used to be a man in my Sunday School class that said adversity makes us "better or bitter." John is definitely better and gives God the glory.
Again, we are so blessed to have such great friends and family that support and pray for us. Thank you again to all of you for your continued caring. We still get cards almost weekly.
We may not have much to report in the next few weeks, but thank you all for following and I will try to blog if there's anything at all going on.
Love you all,
John, Cathy and Family

Post-Surgery
Howdy everybody,
Van took John to Dr. Hurst today and he took off the patch. It looks pretty rough, but not as bad all around as I thought it would. He doesn't see hardly anything at all out of it. Dr. Hurst said there was no infection. Dr. Hurst didn't know exactly what it was supposed to look like but hopes it will look better in a couple of weeks. He goes back to see Dr. Hurst in two weeks and sees Dr. Gabel again in a month. Hopefully, this will really help his eye.
Thanks again for reading and your continued concern and prayers.
Love,
John and Cathy

Eye Surgery
Hi all,
Well, today was eye surgery day and the weather was not the best, but we only had to go as far as Mt. Vernon to Crossroads Hospital. They were running a little behind, but John was finally taken back to be prepared about 9:00. They are doing a large renovation at Crossroads and they were running really short onbeds and rooms so John was put in the Pediatric Room that had been transformed into the kitchen (funny, huh?). His bed was in the midst of a jungle theme and in the other half of the room was a coffee pot, refrigerator, microwave, etc. Needless to say, it was a very busy room. Cejae had taken the day off to go with us which was so nice. It's always good to have her along. They finally took him back to surgery around 9:55 and he got out about 11:00. They said it all went fine. The doctor said that eye would look like "bloody hell" tomorrow, but today it has a huge gauze taped over it to keep it shut. They didn't even put him out, but just gave him something to make him groggy. He appeared to do very well. He came out talking and immediately ate two blueberry muffins and drank a cup of coffee. My brother came in to see him and John kept us all entertained as usual. The anesthesiologist did say that when he gave him the anesthesia he had a couphing spell, but he didn't have nausea or any signs of goofiness when he came out. We left the hospital about 11:45 and John insisted we go have lunch. He isn't supposed to drive for 24 hours, but has to go see Dr. Hurst tomorrow. If Cejae has to work, Van has offered to take him. I don't know what we would do without Van and Delores. They have been such good friends and so good to us and Van and John kind of keep each other entertained I think. Delores feeds him about everyday and John really enjoys it. He and Van went and saw a movie last week and had a really great time, or at least John did. He's had the hiccups tonight and that's the first time since right after his surgery.
I am going to try to meet them tomorrow at Dr. Hurst's office so I can see and hear what Dr. Hurst has to say. I don't think John has to see Dr. Gabel again until next month.
As alway, we so appreciate your care, concern and prayers for us. There is so much sickness and pain out there that we continue to feel so blessed. God has been so good to us. We just pray for those that are hurting, be it physical, emotional or spiritual. We pray for those that have lost loved ones also. Thank you again for continuing to support us in your prayers, thoughts and kindness. We, again, are so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family. Thank you all.
I will try to blog again tomorrow and let you know how John's eye looks.

Monday's Findings
Hello all,
We had such a nice weekend with our family. We had dinner with Barbara on Friday night. We had a great time at Bucky and Melody's. We went to a lovely little place in Evanston for breakfast on Saturday, went to Target, took a nap in the afternoon and went to dinner and a movie Saturday night. We then went to John's sisters yesterday and spent the day. We left early this morning and went to St. Louis for John's eye appointment. We got a little lost in St. Louis, but finally figured it out. I seem to know my way around Chicago much better than I do St. Louis, but what can I say?
Dr. Gable finally took the stitches out of John's eye. They have been in there since before Christmas so John was so glad to get them out. His eye looks pretty good to me. The stitches had rubbed the cornea somewhat and he has a red blotch that I think the stitches had also rubbed. Dr. Gable said the cornea has a thin place in it which isn't good, but he is hopeful that this surgery next week will help. He really believes, as do we, that this is the best option. Dr. Gable thought the eye looked good other than that. We had several questions for him in regard to the surgery and the healing process and he appeared to be pretty impressed that we had done some research. John told the doctor that he probably thought we were silly to ask so many questions and he said he did not. He said most people wouldn't care enough to ask questions or find out more information. John still has to tape the eye at night but, hopefully, after the eye has healed from the surgery he won't have to do that anymore. The surgery is next Tuesday, February 9 at 9:00 at Crossroads in Mt. Vernon.
Thanks again to all of you who continue to follow. Again, we so appreciate your caring, compassionate support.

Fabulous Friday!
Good afternoon everyone,
We left about 5:30 this morning to come to Chicago. We had no bad weather and sunshine at least half of the way. Sunshine makes everything better, even bitter-cold temperatures. We went to John's appointment with Dr. Akst, the vocal cord doctor. In my opinion, everything looks so much better. I know I'm not a doctor, but it looks and seems so much improved from when we first began this process. His voice is so much stronger and he rarely chokes, which is great. John has also learned what works and what doesn't when he's eating and, sometimes, he just has to quit if it's something too difficult. He has accepted that and goes with it.
We were finished with the doctor at about 12:30 and I convinced him to go back to the 5th floor (Rehab) and see all of the Rehab. people: physical, speech and occupational therapists, nurses, techs, etc. They were glad to see me, but ecstatic to see him and just couldn't get over how good he looks and is doing. He felt like the Mayor of Rehab. again. They were just all so amazed and astounded at how good he was talking, walking and just doing so great, in general. He truly is a miracle of God and, again, we are so blessed. Sometimes we forget how far he has come, but talking to the people at Rehab. today brought it all back home.
Again, we couldn't have gotten through any of this without your prayers and support. We truly appreciate all you have done and continue to do. Thank you again.
I will let you know how the eye doctor's appointment on Monday goes. Thanks for continuing to read.
Gratefully,

Thursday, January 28
Hello all,
I haven't blogged in a while because we have pretty much settled back in to our old routine--I go to work and John does what he does. It was difficult getting back into the old routine, but we have managed to get through it. John is great about helping around the house: doing laundry, having supper ready, doing the dishes, fixing coffee. I'm getting a little spoiled and, I must admit, am enjoying it quite a bit.
We are headed back to Chicago tomorrow for a final follow-up visit with Dr. Akst, the vocal cord doctor, before he transfers to John Hopkins Medical Center in Baltimore, Maryland. Dr. Akst told John he was welcome to come to Baltimore to see him. It is so amazing and miraculous that God led John to Loyola. This doctor said he is the only one who can do the vocal cord injection the way he does it. He said the doctors who are replacing him can do it, but they have to do it surgically whereas he is able to do it in his office without putting John under.
We are going to spend Friday night, Saturday and Saturday night with Bucky and Melody and then going on to
John's sisters in Streator on Sunday. We will spend Sunday night with them and leave early Monday morning for St. Louis where he has an appointment with Dr. Gable, the eye doctor. His eye is still giving him quite a bit of trouble. We are hopeful that the surgery scheduled for February 9 will be beneficial and really help. Hopefully, it will at least stop the cornea from getting any worse. John has done research on this procedure and, I believe, feels it is the best thing for him at this time. The procedure will at the very least, treat the eye and not just the symptom. His eye is still partially sewn shut and I know he will be so glad to have it opened again, although we're not sure when that will happen.
For all of you that continue to check, thanks. I haven't been very faithful about blooging, but will let you know as new developments come up. I will try and let you know about tomorrow's doctor's appointment and Monday's as well. Thanks, again, for all of your support.

John and Cath

Another Doctor's Visit
Today we went to see an opthalmologist that comes to Mt. Vernon from St. Louis once a month. John has seen Dr. Gable before, but it had been several years ago. He really likes him and he helped clear John's eye up in 2005 so John has a lot of faith in him. He put John on an antibiotic/steroid ointment for his eye in the hopes that it will calm that eye down. He left it sewn shut as much as it is and wants us to follow up with him in St. Louis on February 1 to see if the ointment has helped. He is scheduled for surgery on February 9 on the eye at Crossroads in Mt. Vernon. Dr. Gable will scrape the cornea slightly and then pull the conjunctiva over the cornea as a sort-of permanent contact lens. He then hopes that will help heal it as much as it can. He doesn't really think that John's eye will improve greatly, but his hope is that it can at least become low maintenance. He doesn't think the gold weight in the eyelid is a good option at this point.
Our hearts are heavy this evening for many due to recent deaths and tragedies. We know prayer can change things and our prayers are for strength, guidance, and comfort for those that are hurting.

Terrific Thursday
Good snowy morning everyone,
I thought I should blog for you faithful followers and prayer warriors who know that we went to Chicago again yesterday. We so appreciate all of you. I hope you don't get tired of hearing us say that because we never get tired of your loyalty and support of us.
We did indeed go back to Chicago yesterday. John picked me up (yes, he's driving) from work on Tuesday afternoon and we drove to Streator and spent the night with his sister Gaila. His other sister and a couple of nieces came over yesterday morning and spent some time with us before we left for our doctors' visits. It was a nice visit and a good break before going on. We headed to Chicago about 11 for our 1:15 appointment.
We had to wait a short period of time on Dr. Akst, the vocal cord doctor. He did a video test of John's vocal cord and talked to John. He thought he had gotten quite a bit in there, but John thought he could maybe use a little more. The doctor said we could do a touch up and we could either come back at a later date or come back after John's eye appointment and do it yesterday. John decided to go ahead and do it yesterday. We went on to see Dr. Lin to get the stitches taken out of his eye. She decided not to take the stitches out since the eye was partially open. She thought it was better that it was at least a little closed and she said she could see where the corneal abrasion had been, but it didn't look worse. We see the other opthalmologist in Mt. Vernon on Tuesday.
We then went back to Dr. Akst's office and he did an additional "touch-up" to John's vocal cord. John's voice is quite strong now. He said it's a little tight but more than likely it will loosen up. We just hope it continues to help his swallowing, because that's the most important thing. It was about 4:00 when we got out of there and we decided to come on home since Chicago was supposed to get about 12 inches of snow and we were supposed to get a significant amount.
On the way home, Cejae had called and said she stopped by the house and it was 47 degrees in here and she thought we were out of gas. I had asked John to check it on Tuesday, but he forgot. Anyway, being the lovely, thoughtful daughter that she is, she had called the gas man at 6:00 and he was coming out to give us gas, light the furnace, etc. It is wonderful to live in a small town where people care and to have such great people looking after you. When we returned home, everything was in order and warm. Thank you Cejae and Pete Anselment.
I am headed back to work this morning. It has been a little difficult to get back in the swing, but John is doing so well. In fact, he had parked his car down by the road last night in case we couldn't get out and unbeknownst to me this morning has already walked down and moved it up by the house and given me the weather condition report. God has truly blessed us in so many ways! Thank you again for all your prayers and thoughtfulness. We love you and thanks for continuing to read.

Merry Monday Morning!
Good morning,
Praise God! John's fever left last night before we went to bed and has not yet come back. Let's just hope and pray it was some random fever that was short-lived. Thanks to all who prayed; we so appreciate each and everyone of you. Again, we are so blessed by God and all of you. Have a great day!
Love,
John and Cathy

The Latest
Hello everyone,
Hope this finds all of you having a great day. We went to church this morning, but tonight John is running a fever--101.1. He feels sort of bad, but not really coughing. He said he has a slight headache, but we really don't know why he has the fever. It's the first one he's had since he's been home. We are supposed to go to Chicago again Wednesday for some follow-up visits, but I'm not sure we will be able to go if he continues to run a fever. We just hope and pray it doesn't go into something worse. Tomorrow is my first day back to work in almost three months so I can't really stay home. Thank you again for your concern and continued prayers.
Love,

He said he has a slight headache, but we really don't know why he has the fever. It's the first one he's had since he's been home. We are supposed to go to Chicago again Wednesday for some follow-up visits, but I'm not sure we will be able to go if he continues to run a fever. We just hope and pray it doesn't go into something worse. Tomorrow is my first day back to work in almost three months so I can't really stay home. Thank you again for your concern and continued prayers.
Love,
Cathy
