Now what are you doing on the blogsite!!! It’s THANKSGIVING!!! But since you must be really interested in keeping up with Bill (or totally bored with food and football) you get to read the latest scoop.
Bill has just returned home from an unexpected trip to the hospital. He woke up Wednesday morning with double vision. After a call to the doctor, we were driving to the emergency room. Not an “emergency", but the ER is equipped with an “isolation” room for their cancer patients. Tests and medical treatment can be administered quickly from the ER verses being admitted into the hospital.
After an MRI of his brain, the neurologist determined that cancer was NOT causing his vision problems. This was great news. In fact, we were told, his MRI looked terrific compared to his pre-Ommaya Reservoir MRI. More good news. Our hematologist-oncologist also said Bill’s CSF was clean on the latest extraction, so the doctors are puzzled on what is causing this eye malfunction. They are guessing it is chemotherapy related.
We will be scheduling an appointment with a neurologist/ophthalmologist if it continues. It does come and go, so we will be recording his routine to see what might affect it. They kept Bill overnight to observe him, and he was glad to come today.
So we will be doing hamburgers for our Thanksgiving Day dinner. And are still hoping to see Janine, Don, and Maggie over the weekend for our Turkey Day. As always, we take one day at a time.
Happy Thanksgiving. And thank you for your Thanksgiving prayers on Bill’s behalf.
Nancy

Dear Nancy and Bill,
I can not imagine what you all are going through. The website is a wonderful way to keep posted on events. Those grandbabies are beautiful. What a blessing. You are both in our prayers and hope you shared a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family. Mom works tonight and we ate early to give her time to get ready for work. We are all doing well.
Love and Prayers,
Carla,John, Addison, Hannah, Caroline and Mary
Bill and Nancy,
When we moved to Naperville 3 years ago, you extended such kindness and help to us that we're still thankful to have neighbors like you. I wish that you would have had an uneventful Thanksgiving, but I'm glad to hear that the double vision isn't cancer related. Maybe the double vision is so that you can see two of Maggie and double the joy you get when you see her? Have a wonderful weekend, and happy belated Thanksgiving!

Bill is sooooo lucky to see two of Mrs. Huber!! Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Good news on the hospital trip, hope that the blurred vision clears up real soon particularly for the Monday nite football game!!! With you all the way.
Hi Bill,
It sounds as though you are getting good test results. My dad always said that when he saw double all he had to do was close one eye and the driving became much better.! Hopefully they will determine what has caused that but in the meantime the Nulasta is pretty good stuff.
What cuties those two grandbabies are! What eyes on Maggie...and she is in such a great age. Hope you are feeling better by this weekend. I know you'll enjoy the family.
Take care, listen to Nancy and be a GOOD patient.
All our love,
Judy and Dave
Hi Hubers,
My name is Jill. My sister and I used to play in the handbell choir with you in London. I got your blog address from another Londonite. It is quite a read! I almost had to stop reading when I saw that Kari is 30 - it doesn't seem possible. Time certainly has a way of hurrying by. My prayers are for your return to health, whatever it takes. I'm also praying that you will get through the recovery with the grace and elegance you always seem to possess in any situation. :-)
I'll be keeping up with the blog -

Okay,
Apparently I am woefully inept at blog comments...sorry for the duplication!

Bill,
I will have to admit that I didn't like the way the game ended today. I was actually watching the end of the game in your old stomping grounds of LONDON. I hate to see the CATS lose but anything to make you feel better. Hope you are full of turkey by now and the double vision has gone away. I'm sure Maggie had plenty of attention during her visit. Nancy is probably burning the candle at both ends trying to cook and give Maggie her attention She and Andrew are sooo cute.
Love to all,
Mary Jo
Glad to hear about the good MRI....
That Maggie is getting more darling by the minute. I'll be anxious to hear about the test for his vision.
Keep us up to date, always thinking of you, Did you see that TN game on Sat. My guy almost stroked out!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope that you and Janine's family had a nice day yesterday.
I'm certain that it was made better by the Vols victory.
One reason that I really hoped they would win would be to quiten the locals today, and boy, were they quiet.
A friend and her daughter stopped by here to watch the last overtime or so, and the daughter couldn't believe that of all the people they know around here, her Mom picked the one Tennessee place.
So, Go Vols!!
Hope that you are still doing well.
You are always in our prayers.
Here's hoping for good news from your sisters.
Jim and Mary Lou
