Quick Update

In honor of my dear sister, tonight's update will be brief (grin)! Thank you all for praying for today's test; Dee Dee tolerated the procedure well. She strongly dislikes drinking the radioactive contrast, but otherwise has fared pretty well today.

The test took about three hours to complete, but we did not learn anything today. The radiologist should read it tomorrow, and we should hear tomorrow or Wednesday. It has as a primary goal the establishment of the appropriate route or procedure to use in getting that doggone lymph node dealt with. It will also, as a side benefit, confirm that there are no tumors anywhere else.

So, we wait. The waiting, the not knowing with any certainty the full scope of things, is officially growing old. I think that is more draining for Dee Dee than anything else; she is ready to tackle anything, but let's please nail down exactly what it is we are tackling!

Everything for the Mayo trip is set. We have childcare arranged; a wonderful young couple, who know our kids well, is staying here at the house basically the whole time. Dee Dee's mom is staying until they get here Sunday night. Thank you all for your offers of help!

So, thanks again for praying for today. We will keep you informed as things happen, or needs arise, or I just need to vent, or whatever.

Tony
