Making New Friends

Yesterday ended with a lot of fun for Paul and Leigh. When things were finished at the clinic around late afternoon, Paul and Leigh headed over to Central Park. When they got there they found a "big rock" where a few kids were climbing and playing. One of the kids' mom was there and Leigh made a new friend (as did Paul with her son and two daughters). This family lives in Queens. They all hit it off and ended up eating dinner together after riding the train to a pizza place. They had a nice time, and this new friend bought dinner. I'm officially declaring New Yorkers friendly and generous!

Leigh and Paul were up early this morning. Paul had to drink contrast before an early morning CT. That went fine. He had to wait to eat after the bone marrow biopsy which occured this afternoon. Aside from having to wait a lot today (it sounds like the clinic was very busy and behind schedule), things have gone OK. As soon as Paul awoke from sedation after the procedure they were out the door to McDonalds. When I last called, he was on his second Happy Meal. I guess he really was starving!

The plan for tomorrow is the MIBG scan in the morning and then the trip home. Please pray the MIBG will go well. Paul has to lie still for a long time for this. Thanks to all of you out there praying and thinking of us. There have been some extremely generous gifts and sacrifices made by you all lately. God has blessed us so much through you. (-:
