Beau Wann, Jr.
This is Diane for Beau and I, We want to thank you for all the prayers, cards and those who came to the visitations and memorial service. Waltrip people are the best! What you didn't know is that the day Mom died, Beau and I were at MDAnderson in the ER. He was having some swallowing issues and other side effects. Beau was admitted and we stayed 2 nights. He had an MRI,went from a liquid diet to a soft diet as they tried to determine cause of sypmtoms. Yesterday (the 19th) we were back at MDA for appointments. He had a swallow test and throrough evaluation. His swallowing is fine, there are some issues with the brain not sending the right signals to swallow occasionally. The brain has a lot of swelling and inflammation. They said that given 3 surgeries, radiation and chemotherapy, his symptoms were to be expected. Tomorrow he starts a new chemo that will specifically target the swelling, inflamation and residual effects of the radiation. He is expected to feel substantially better by Monday. That's what we need right now. The last 2-3 months have been very tough.
Thank you again for all your prayers for My mom and family. My sister, Pam, has really done and continues to do an amazing job of helping our dad.
be safe, hug your family and say your prayers. Love to all! Beau and Diane
