Good news! I did get approval for the Revlimid from the drug company and insurance. It is a pill that will be shipped to me and we will hopefully get it sometime the beginning of next week (although it takes mail a long time to get here).

They also put me on IV antibiotics today to try to clear up my mouth/throat sores. I really haven't seen any improvement since my last post. I'm glad to be more proactive in trying to clear these things up. I have a little "take home" pump again that gives me the antibiotic 4 times a day through my central line. I just need to remember that I am attached to the pump! I've already forgotten once after only having it for about 3 hours.

Thanks for all of your prayers, cards, well wishes,...
Amy

    Good news indeed! We have had a very good start to this school year, but I am glad it's Friday. (I especially enjoy the hugs and kisses from Kylie!) The turn in the weather has certainly been wonderful. The cool evenings are just in time for the AHS/Covington game tonight. Hope the antibiotic has started curing those dratted mouth sores. We're praying for you, daily and many times throughout the day. Sending love your way. Hey to Mom and Michael!
