Friday

Well, one of our 3 days with no appointments has come and gone. It was a pretty good day. We hung out this morning, I had a Vente Starbucks coffee and then hit the laundry room with mom. We decided to pass the time away in the workout room while dad "people watched" in the beautiful lobby of the Rotary House!

If you don't know what complete boredom will do to you... well ,I will tell you! It makes you go to the Zoo! Yes, the Zoo. We were so completely out of our minds desperate to find something to do that we piled on the shuttle and went to the ZOO!!! :0

I have to admit while it was lovely to be outside strolling in the beautiful weather, it was quite odd to be visiting the Zoo without a companion under the age of 5! :) We did have a nice afternoon and laughed at the lazy lions and crazy monkeys. We tried a Root beer float, but nah, not very good at the Zoo.

As we were leaving the Zoo around 5 pm I got a call from the hospital on my cell phone and turns out they had been looking for us all day! (The nurse assigned to trying to reach us had been calling mom and dad's house phone!) Anyway, she told me that they had wanted Dad to come in and see the GI doctor today because the PET scan revealed his tube was not in correctly and they worried he would experience some awful side effects over the weekend if it wasn't fixed! Can you believe it? Of all things, the tube is not in correctly. What does that mean? I have no idea, but since he isn't experiencing any "symptoms", they decided to wait until Monday to discuss it at our appointment. We are to go the patient film library and pick up a copy of the PET on Monday to take home to Dr. Short as soon as we land in Alabama and get him to fix it if he makes it that long without any problems. Please pray that is the case. So far, so good.

Other than that, we haven't heard anything today except some reports on line that tell what the doctors saw from their initial exams. All things they have told us already, so nothing new.

Tomorrow is golf day on TV, so that should be nice. We hope to get dad "out " for dinner tomorrow night. So far, he is on board with that.

My aunt came through her surgery and appears to be doing as expected. She will be in ICU for a few days so continue to lift her up in your prayers. Keep praying for our appointment on Monday at 10:20! Set your watches and alarms to remind you! We will need your prayers not only for results, but for peace, low anxiety and calmness as we accept what we are told and make our plans to move forward.

Thank you! Happy Easter! If you see my sweet, adorable husband out and about or one of my precious children...please give them a hug (or a high five!) from me! Love to all!
