G'night

Okay, I know I was supposed to write earlier, and all I can say is that it has been a good, but tiring day. We finished testing this afternoon, and then slept for a while. We did some walking, ate at Pannekoeken again, and slept some more.

So here's the update:

NO SICKNESS! None for Dee Dee, none for me, none at all. She never got nauseous, and that is a true blessing. I felt weird until early afternoon, but then it just sort of went away (strangely enough, about an hour after I posted that prayer request - coincidence? I think not!). Was mine sympathy, or fatigue, or stress? Probably. Why was hers so much better this time? Prayer. No biopsies during the endoscopy. I don't care right now, I'm just happy she did so well.

GREAT PROCEDURE! Out of all the endoscopies she has had, she felt that this was the easiest of all. They put her under so slowly that she felt alike she was just talking to the nurses and then was out. She never felt anything during the procedure, simply woke up after it was all over. She didn't even have a sore throat afterward. Beautiful, simple, done right. And a good thing, since I wasn't allowed to be with her, even in recovery. Bottom line is that she was really pleased with the physical aspect of all her testing this trip.

Now we wait for tomorrow and the summary appointment with Dr. Thompson. We have no results from anything yet. All tests are completed, and we meet with the docs to talk Thursday at 9:00 Rochester time. Our prayers now are focused on the results and our discussion tomorrow.

I will try to blog after the appointment tomorrow, but it will be tricky from a timing standpoint. I'll do my best, probably around noon eastern time.

Thank you all for everything. Almost over, and that's good.

Tony

Prayers are answered every day !! I was concerned about your getting sick since you take care of Dee Dee so good. Thank God she didn't get sick this trip. Another prayer answered.

I know you have all the questions ready for the doctors and won't leave until you have good answers to them.

Psalms says it best.. "Wait for the Lord. Be strong and let your heart take courage. Blessed by the Lord, because He has heard the voice of my supplication. The Lord is my strength and my shield. My heart trusts in Him and I am helped. But as for me I trust in Thee oh Lord."

Prayers and love... Mom

Dear Tony & Dee Dee,
It's 10 a.m. here, so it must be 9 a.m there in Rochester. Prayers are certainly being lifted up with you being placed in God's secure and loving hands.

"It is good to give thanks to the Lord, for his love endures for ever. ... Give thanks to the Lord of lords --- his love endures for ever; who alone works great marvels --- his love endures for ever; who made the heavens in wisdom --- his love endures for ever. ... Give thanks to the God of heaven, for his love endures for ever." Psalm 136

(I, too, appreciated the mental picture of Randy in the water ... somehow, it's frequently been his gift to make us all smile, or laugh.)

Take care, know you are love, and have a safe landing this evening.
Love,
Linda Lee
