It is now 2:45 local time, and I just wanted to give a brief update. The long day is close to being over.
Dee Dee was quite ill after the morning procedures. We had to stop several times as I wheeled her through the hallways. This is a HUGE place! She has just, in the last hour, started feeling okay. She has been able to keep down some dry toast and ginger ale, which is progress.
She had the octreatide radioactive dye injection at 11:30, and the scan is set for 3:30. She will be re-scanned tomorrow at 8:00 a.m., but no new injection is needed. We meet with Dr. Thompson at 2:00 tomorrow, as well as with a thoracic surgeon (same time) to discuss not only the stomach but also the lymph node.
Please pray that Dee Dee feels well enough to eat when we finish the scan today; she has to stop eating at 7:00 tonight for the scan tomorrow a.m. Thankfully, she can eat a light breakfast tomorrow before the scan, but right now she's nearing 20+ hours with lots of medical procedures and no real food. Also, I feel guilty chowing down in front of her while she's too nauseous to eat; really, it becomes a prayer for me as much as her! (Grin)

Just wanted to wish you well tomorrow, believing God for a great report. God has been with you throughout every situation in your life, Dee Dee. He is still faithful...He will continue to walk with you now.

"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty...For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways." (Psalm 91:1,11) Praying for you both to know the rest and refuge of God's love for you. Let us know if we can do anything for you here on the homefront.
Love,
Warren and Cathy
