Fair had a biopsy of the cancer in her spine done last Thursday. It went very well, and she was able to come home the same day since they didn’t have to make an incision. She is still feeling sore from it, but overall she is doing very well. It has been decided that Fair’sContinue reading “A decision has been made where Fair will have surgery and other updates”

Fair has been continuing to feel better as she recovers. She is still sore, but that hasn’t stopped her from pushing her limits. She’s been walking more and for longer distances now and enjoys getting out of the house whenever she feels like it. The second opinion in Houston provided a lot of insight andContinue reading “March 7th update”

Fair has been home for nearly a week and a half now, and she is doing well! She is still very tender and sensitive on her left side, but her breathing hasn’t been affected hardly at all. She can’t do much of anything that would use a lot of lung power such as sports orContinue reading “February 24th surgery recovery update and the 2nd opinion in Houston is scheduled”

We are continuously amazed at how well Fair has been recovering from her surgery. Her surgeon did a wonderful job in removing the cancer, and consequently, she is having little pain and breathing very well. Her left side is still numb since her ribs were frozen which has helped to reduce the pain as well. WeContinue reading “February 11th surgery recovery update”

I am with Fair right now. She is sleeping. Naturally she is experiencing pain but it is being managed well. It hurts to breathe but not near as bad as the lung biopsy back in July. Guess what … No ribs had to be removed! We are so thankful for all the prayers going outContinue reading “2nd surgery update”

I am going to see her soon and will give an update when I can today on howContinue reading “Surgery day update”

Fair is going to have surgery Monday to remove the cancer from her left lung. It will involve removing a rib as well so they can get to it. They’re going to freeze her ribs which is supposed to help with the pain. Fair is feeling a lot stronger before this surgery than she didContinue reading “Surgery is scheduled for Monday, February 8th.”

Fair has been continuing to feel better overall and has really been able to push her physical boundaries this week!  She’s gone on long walks, driven her car places, and even played volleyball with her siblings!  It is a blessing to see her doing so well! On a more serious note, Fair and our familyContinue reading “January 27 – Update and prayer requests”

Fair’s biopsy went really well. She had hardly any discomfort. Her spirits were great despite being pretty hungry since she did not eat breakfast or lunch. But she enjoyed going out to eat afterwards. Fair’s surgeon and oncology team will receive the results from the biopsy in 3-5 days and determine the best plan ofContinue reading “January 18 – Biopsy update”
