It has been so long since my last post! Things have been chaotic, as most of you remember!

Tom is officially done with therapy today! I am so excited. He is so beaten down and has a hard time seeing the good in anything. :o(

The saliva is very thick and keeps filling his mouth. He is kind of afraid to sleep. :o( Any tips on getting rid of the thickness of it? Jaw pain is gone but numbness is still there. He has been on Prednisone during the entire course of treatment. They started him at 40mg/day and have tapered him down to 20, as of now. Sugar was getting too high!

Thanks to all of you for listening, offering advice and having a place to search for answers!!!
