Good afternoon, AU family!

I have so much good news to report regarding Wayne's recovery from surgery last week!

Today was a HUGE day! Physical therapy had him doing chair pushups (dips), etc. Then came Speech therapy & he was able to put the one-way valve on his trach & surprised the therapist with the strength of his voice! He got his reward - that much hoped-for cup of ice chips! (He has had nothing by mouth since last Wednesday).

Cheeky monkey! He had asked for some water & a swab to rinse his mouth out... As I turned my back to fetch something else, I caught motion out of the corner of my eye... the sly bugger had taken a sip from the cup!

He will officially start liquids tomorrow, but they want to be sure he's not leaking into any tissues anywhere from the mouth.

He is cleared to get a wheelchair, even with all the IV pole, He's very keen to get rolling since I told him it would reduce the swelling in his arms & hands...

Thank you, Jody!

It will take about a year, I think. We've decided not to do the radiation & chemo, because we all know what damage they do.

If anyone does not know, just ask@Dennis1776, he's been through it - radiation & chemo AT THE SAME TIME! 😱

Squamous cell carcinoma is one of the most easily cured cancers. As soon as Wayne is allowed drinks, he will be getting distilled water with some baking soda in it to help with pH issues...

When we get home, we both go on a program of Ivermectin (I have some issues with residual from a bad mold exposure in 2017 & I'm just betting the IVM will help me, too.)

I'll be meeting with the dietician to explain why we don't want any shakes or formulas that contain soy or canola oil (hard on pancreas & liver). I'll give her my own recipe & ask if he wants to "tweak it." If he insists on pushing something else, well, then, his services will not be required.

And that's FINAL!

I stand with President Trump and patriots WW! #GodWins 🙏

You sound as though, you are on this! I am so glad he has you to navigate through it. My sister’s boyfriend is doing both chemo and radiation atm. It is horrible! I wish you both health and happiness. May the Lord continue to bless you. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. 🙏❤️

I'm so sorry to hear you're going through this, too, Jody.

We are NOT doing radiation or chemo. @Dennis1776 did that & he regrets it. They burned out his salivary glands & he almost lost his esophagus! 😲

We want that Quantum Unified Field technology & the Scalar Wave room...

That, plus a course of Ivermectin, plus the shakes I make, loaded with fresh turmeric root from the garden (with the skin ON because the skin contains lots of anti-tumor constituents), along with black pepper to potentiate the turmeric, plus the good mushrooms & some maca powder (an adaptogen, which helps the body handle stress).

The docs don't know it yet, but Dr. Hasney is convinced he got it all. He told me post surgery, that he didn't have to take as much bone out because it was good, healthy bone... They were going to take the whole jaw, but Wayne got to keep about 40-45% of it.

I'm thinking God began healing Wayne before he could get to surgery.

That's my story & I'm sticking to it.

Thank you. How horrible for Dennis! 😔
I am taking notes, I appreciate you walking us through your journey. Through God, anything is possible. 🙏❤️ Please keep us updated when you can hun! We’re all pulling for him! He has a pretty spectacular Lady. God bless, always. 🙏💋

Aww, shucks, ma'am! You make me blush. I'm only doing my little bit - patient advocacy. God is doing all of the heavy lifting & placing His people in the right positions to do the most good!

We have angels all around us & we can FEEL them!

Beginning last night, lots more progress!

We got a new night nurse, Andre, a muscled Black man whose laugh is like warm honey on a sunny day, dripping down deep into my soul.

He is a traveling contract nurse, doing his bit in NOLA atm. Last night, we chatted about that useless JP drain & I used the "like teats on a bull" analogy. He threw back his head & laughed that deep, soulful laugh of his, then asked where we were from.

We said, "Texas," and he said, "Me, too!" I asked him what town & he said, "Lubbock." THAT had me. I told him, "I was born in Amarillo!" Then we hugged & it was Old Home Night. He went to Texas Tech University for nursing school & I graduated from West Texas A&M. Our schools were football rivals!

Andre took excellent care of us all night, even took Wayne's vitals without waking him up. He administered pain meds without waking him up & said, "I can tell he's having pain in his sleep because his heart's over 100 & the blood pressure's up a bit." All I could say was, "God bless you, Andre. I've been trying to explain this to the other nurses, but they don't believe me."

Next time I saw him, he was educating the other nurses on how to determine if a patient is in pain... AND he took it on himself to teach the others how to use the intraoral Doppler. Poor fellow never had time to get a bite of food, so I shared my bacon jerky & dried cherries with him, which he loved.

Then An was on duty today & he went through the motions with the Doppler, but never got a reading. He just faked the whole thing, but he didn't escape my notice. He got the stinkeye from me again.

Andre will be our night nurse again tonight and I hope he will be until we leave the hospital.
