Biopsy

Things have been a bit hectic. Recently Muttie went in for a surgical biopsy of the breast and then underwent another surgery to create a new fistula so that she can be ready for the chemo and subsequent removal surgery.
At first they told her that she would probably undergo a few weeks of chemo before they removed it but after the initial biopsy results they modified that to three months (give or take what the final biopsy says and how the treatment goes).
Right now we are awaiting the results of the final biopsy which should not only pin point the type of treatment/drugs but get a more accurate duration time. We should know by the end of next week.

Pictures taken on Saturday of the breast in question.

Daylight:




As you can seen, some of the tissue is necrotic and that is why the stitches didn't work; also the biopsy site is infected.

Dialysis

Soon the Catheter will be gone so here is what it looks like.

Toothy Smiles

I never got the chance to take a pick of the first lost tooth but here is Sarah 2.5 gone at one time.

Now that Sarah is in school here are a few pics:

Well here is the construction pics from ground up.

Construction going good (over several months):

Then the contractor had some problems and stopped working, even though he had been paid. Few months go by and the court system is SLOW. Pick up new crew to continute work while waiting for the funds.

Yeah Christmas - two angles:



The courts are still dragging their feet, so we chose to save on rent, hold out until another source of funds panned out, and move (this also allows Sarah to go to school on time and not have to be withdrawn mid-term)
