The kids and I spent Thanksgiving weekend with Mike. He seems to be feeling good. He saw a pulmonary specialist last week and is on breathing treatments and he is doing very well with them. He goes back for a checkup on Friday, December 5th. Mike continues to keep his left arm tight and close to his body so Dr. Nguyen feels that a Botox injection may help loosen the muscles in Mike's hand and arm. Mike continues to hold his head up well but when he gets tired he rests his chin on his chest so this week he will also get a Botox injection in his neck. He had his last one back in April with good results. Pray for Mike to have a good week. Pray for good results from the Botox and the pulmonary check up. Pray for Mike to respond in therapy.
