Hello all this is Gordon,
I am going to do my best to fill the role as facilitator of this site. Peri has passed the torch to me to keep all of you updated on her current condition.
First of all, let me say a heartfelt THANK YOU to each and every one of you for your unbelievable outpouring of love and generosity to Peri, myself and our children. It is a true testament to Peri and to what kind of person she is. I told Jack. a couple of years ago, to pay close attention to how people are treating his mom while she is sick. I told him that this is proof that being kind to others will only prove positive back on you in the long run. Peri has done more for others than anyone I have ever known. The love and support she has received, and is still receiving, confirms the statement that I made to Jack. I thank you all again for your love of Peri.
Now for the update. Since her last post, we have had another setback. Saturday the 21st she became quite ill and was in extreme pain. I took her to the ER and they got her comfortable via IV pain meds and nausea meds. She was unable to take these orally and keep down at home. They admitted her to the hospital. She had a CT scan at 4AM Sunday the 22nd. The scan showed that her cancer has spread into her intestines and is causing blockage. Obviously, this is not good! They are now trying to get things to clear so that we do not have to try surgery. Surgery is our last option that we want to take. That being said, Peri is being kept as comfortable as possible, and we are playing the waiting game now. Everything is on hold till we see what happens with this.
Hopefully, Peri will be proud of my choice of words with all of this. She has told me that I tend to use words that are not appropriate for all to hear. You can only imagine where one can go in a conversation about this particular subject. I have put my filter on!
Anyway, I will try my best to keep all of you informed moving forward from here. I am not as good at this, as well as many other things, as Peri is. Please bare with me as I try. The main thing I can ask of you is to keep praying for my sweet, sweet Peri. She is my Wonder Woman….
