Robin gets her groove back...
Well, almost... The last several days her jaw has been sore so she switched to getting most of her nutrition thru her feeding tube. She was getting out of bed so late it was hard to get five to six "cans" down in a day. Saturday we started getting her out of bed at 9am so she'd have time to have a couple of cans at 9am, 3pm and 8pm. So her routine the last couple days has been "wake - eat - nap"!
Her right cheek began to swell again Friday, but it's mostly soft and squishy - not so much like the "hard to the touch" tumor material we've seen in the past. Robin thinks it's probably just accumulated debris in the area getting cleared out of her cheek.
Her spirit and energy level was markedly improved by Saturday evening (all the beautiful cards, good wishes and prayers must be paying off!). You could see she had her smile back and she was becoming prone to laughing once again! The last three weeks have been pretty stressful and took a lot of energy out of her (actually, out of both of us), but this weekend she's becoming more alert, sleeping less and has her sense of humor back! Tonight we made scallops for dinner and Robin had a couple!

It's great to see her spirits lifted up once again, and especially at such a hopeful time of the year! We're wishing that you are able to spend this Holiday with Family and Friends and we wish you good health and good fortune for the coming year! :)

Hi Greg and Robin,
I am sooo glad to hear the humor is back. You have been thought of and prayed for all week! I wanted to stop by but thought about cold symptoms and didn't want to send any your way. Know you are in our hearts and on our minds and wished the best through this holiday season.
Many hugs to you.
Love,
Denise
