Snow on Easter?
Happy Easter! We had an unexpected day of snow yesterday. The kids had fun playing in it, and watching the huge snow flakes fall all day. The Lord is getting us ready for a week in VT.
The preliminary result on the MIBG still showed some uptake in various places, but I have still not seen the official report. Comparing these scans to the last will be difficult since we have a new machine at Cook where the resolution is much better. It does seem apparent though that the CT has shown some improvement. I am looking forward to discussing Paul's future treatment with the VT team this week. There have been a lot of drugs, supplements, etc. tossed around that might go well with the treatment drug (Nifurtimox) that we can now use as we wish since we finished the trial. This gives me some hope.
Paul is feeling great, although he did have the beginnings of an ear infection this week. Our family doctor, Dr. John, took a look at Paul's ears and put him on an antibiotic. He's in great shape now.
The other big news...my buddy, "Mr. Darrell," scored some huge points by getting us some tickets and pit passes to the NASCAR race next week at Texas MotorSpeedway. He has friends in high places (thank you Holt and Sarah!!!), and these goodies were accompanied by a signed 24 hat from the man himself - Jeff Gordon! All this, of course, was met with a bevy of smiles from Paul.
It's going to be a busy week of travel and decision-making. We know that your prayers cover us like a warm blanket on a cold, snowy Easter morning. (-:

somehow T, you left out the part about my forecasting prowess.
i am predicting:
1. NO snow next weekend for the TMS Samsung 500 race
2. that Matt Kenseth (#17 car) will beat Jeff Gordon (provided someone can stop JJ and the #48 - sheesh, enough is enough already!)
3. that we will experience a day totally absent of cancer side effects/concerns
Many Thanks to Mr. Gordon, Sarah & Holt!
boogity, boogity, boogity...
