Oh, yeah; praise God for great results as well! The endoscopy showed many small lesions (carcinoids) but no large ones, basically nothing new. ALL other scans were clear and healthy. The head doc just calmly reassured us that she looked great, and to go home and not worry about it. He said that now that we have 5 years of regular monitoring, and everything has been stable and good, that we can stop doing the horrible scan (octreatide) altogether, stop doing the CT/MRI altogether, just do sort of an enhanced physical every year and do the endoscopy every two years. If anything ever shows on endoscopy, then we can add some of those other things back into the mix. Wooo-Hooo!
So, we're gonna grab a quick bite to eat, grab our bags, and head to the airport. We love and appreciate all of you, have enjoyed praying for you as you've commented and posted and texted and emailed (y'all are a lot to keep up with!), and are extremely thankful that God has brought us to this point. He is always showing His children more about Himself. This includes who He is as king, judge, and ruler of all things. Today, we rejoice that it also includes His nature of mercy and grace and gentle love.
By the way, next week the temp here is going to be 40 degrees, low of 20, little wind. So He also has a sense of humor!

As always encouraged, inspired and amused by your posts :) Dee Dee, just praising the Lord w/ you...truly He is faithful to His own!
Seeing as how you forgot to call me, I saw the "Good News" status on Samara's facebook (you hadn't posted on here yet). So I called and talked to Dee Dee's mom and she said you all were on the way home and I wouldn't be needed there tonight/tomorrow.
God indeed does answer prayers and this is one that I am so thankful He answered in such a glorious way.
Safe trip, rest tomorrow and I will call you. love you both.... Mom
