If I didn't know better I'd think that we are "back to normal". But, I do. A friend said to me at church this morning that she could tell everything was going well because I had not blogged in over a week. She was right.
Ofcourse, things never stay the same. We head back to Houston on Tuesday. We have to be at the hospital at 7:00am on Wednesday morning (these people really don't understand how I hate to get up!). This is all in preparation for a PETSCAN on Wednesday. This is a simple procedure that indicates where there is still cancer cells...if there are. Not much going on Thursday, we meet with a couple of doctors getting prepared for another endoscopy on Friday. After we finish Friday with the endoscopy we see the oncologist, we are assuming she will give us the results of the tests. So, here comes the "prayer of the week". Whatever God wants us to prepare for, we will. Whether it is surgery because there are still cancer cells or a "watch and see" approach. That would mean no surgery and him having tests every 3 months to check for cancer cells. I'm trying really hard and praying that I can accept either choices. There are definitely pros and cons to each.
We had a wonderful week-end, shared dinner with friends and celebrated a surprize birthday party for a neighbor. Today we spent lunch time with a wonderful group of friends from church, watched Jake play soccer and went to see "Thunderstruck" a family movie. Actually, we just wanted the movie popcorn..and we did enjoy it!
So, we are good. We are blessed. And we look forward to planning our activities for the fall. Look forward to being in Houston, also, to enjoy a dinner with my college friend Mitzi whose husband Tom is going to feed us really well on Thursday night (shrimp and grilled veggies...yum).
I just have to give a shout out to our grandson Justin who will be starting for Abilene Christian this Saturday night in their first football game of the season...we are so proud of him.
God is in control and holding our hand.
Linda
