The following post is an update from Dan:
It’s been a constant fight with new things every day. As you know, the battle with the lungs and the treatment of chemo has left Mindy with no immune system for over 3 weeks and that is not a good thing because we all need an immune system to fight all of the bad stuff that goes on in our bodies. Well, a few days ago, Mindy complained of some numbness in her left cheek. The numbness turned out to be a problem/infection in her sinus cavity. Then the concern became about a fungus that was showing up. Surgery was performed on Thursday night to determine how far it had spread and what type of fungus it was with the major concern being eye and brain. They did a biopsy of the fungus and now know the type. During the surgery, they removed everything they could in and around the sinus cavity in an effort to keep the fungus from growing. The doctors are also treating the fungus with an aggressive anti-fungal medicine to kill it. So killing and stopping the fungus is Mindy’s new battle. Once she conquers this battle, she will begin a second round of chemo and resume her fight with leukemia.
Please continue to keep Mindy and her family in your prayers.

As I read your blog Dan, my heart fills with compassion and love for Mindy and your family. Everyday I
ask God for healing over Mindy's body. Please know HE is listening and will make her better. Visualize Mindy as the vibrant, beautiful woman she is. And know how deeply loved you and she and your boys are. Mindy can win and she will. Keep your chin up and be
assured that God is watching over each and every one of you.
With Love,
Sharon Amoroso
