Donald E. Yarbrough, MD My first impression of Dr. Yarbrough is that he is a gentle, and caring man. He talks to you in laymans terms so it is easy to understand him. His office staff was nice, and they seemed very professional. I have only met him for one appointment so I will update as I visit him more!

Well since the last time I wrote We have moved home to Oregon... Things are looking up for us.... I am still very sick with this acid reflux and having alot of trouble with that but it is cool because I am close to family that are being very supportive.
I had an appointment with my surgeon on tuesday I wasn't supposed to see him until July 22nd but there was a cancellation and so they called me and moved my appointment up! I was so excited, I also met with the nursing coordinator, and the financial person.... SO that is all taken care of and I only have to lose 5 pounds by my surgery and they said that as long as I don't put anymore weight on they will be happy, I am taking 40 mg of Prednisone a day and that doesn't let you loose any weight... So hopefully my weight gain is over from it...
So my next appointment is July 2nd I meet with the Diatician and the phyciatrist. So that is what is next for me! Nate is doing really well, not drinking at all and working at the University of Oregon for a local Union Electrical contractor he was promoted to Forman a couple days ago. He feels really good he rides his bike to the rideshare and gets on the bus and rides 20 miles north to Eugene... So we are really happy to be home again.
Well that is all for now!
