Well, it has been a LONG two weeks trying to get all the doctors together and get things moving! When we left Birmingham two weeks ago, we were under the impression that Dr. Nabel would call her notes and chemo orders in to the doctor here at CCI. Well, after several days of waiting, we checked with Dr. Holmes and Dr. Hardacre and they hadn't heard anything yet either. Finally, Dad called the CCI office and they told him they had not recieved any orders from Dr. Nabel! Seriously? He made several attempts to call her office in Birmingham only to find out that she was on "spring break". At least that put us at ease knowing there was absolutely nothing we could do until the beginning of this week. So, Monday morning came and the orders were finally called in. They had to get it all cleared through insurance and he now has an appointment with Dr. Buckner on Tuesday, the 30th to consult about getting his port put in for the chemo. HOPEFULLY, we can move quickly and get that put in by the end of next week and get started! Meanwhile, please pray for this upcoming treatment! Pray for the doctors and the orders put in. Pray that this is all what Dad needs to fight this cancer. Pray expectantly for this chemo to work and shrink the nodes! It will be a long couple of months for Dad, but I know he is ready to do what he has to do! He has been feeling great and is his normal laughing, joking, funny self! I will post next week when I have more details about when it is all getting started.
Thank you all for the cards, emails, calls and constant concern for Papa! We are so thankful for each and every one of you!

"Those who HOPE in the LORD will renew their strength. They will
soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk
and not be faint."
