Home again..Home again

But not for long!  We are leaving in the morning to go with Shana and Callie to Searcy, Arkansas.

Callie is going to camp up near Searcy and we had made the decision several months ago to go with Shana.  We will get the chance to spend some time on the campus of Harding which is where Roy and Shana went to college. Obviously we had second thoughts about making the trip but like Roy said, all he is going to do is ride in the back seat with Callie and play games and watch movies..so it isn't a big deal to him.

Houston was a different experience...a lot of hurry up and wait.  We didn't know when we went that there was going to be an ultrasound endoscopy planned.  But it was the oncologists decision that Anderson needed their own base line scope to see exactly where this mass is located.  Not that knowing will change any of the planned procedures. 

It was scheduled for 10:30am Thursday morning.  We were so excited that they took us back early and he was all ready by 10:30...it didn't happen until 1:30.  Not much fun sitting around a preop "area" (bed and curtain) for 3 hours waiting.  The end result did tell us that the mass has shrunk!  Praise the Lord!  They (the doctors) didn't seem near as impressed as Roy and I.  Ofcourse, we want it totally gone..that's our prayer but if the Lord decides to just make it smaller I accept His will.

We knew when we left that we had an appointment on Tuesday with the oncologist but I just happened to go on their web site and found they had scheduled us one for Monday.  Nobody told us and I'm just thankful I thought to look.  We will go back Monday and be there until Tuesday afternoon.  I do need to come home and work on Wednesday so hopefully they won't add another appointment for after that.  We assume that one of these appointments will tell us when we will have our 5 week stay.

God is in control and holding our hand.
