Waiting

Happy Thanksgiving!

I woke up this morning and my first thought was 'what day is it?' That is usually my first thought in the morning.  

My new second thought is 'oh yeah, cancer.'

YUCK!

We're waiting. 

I really liked that the Dr. called to give us the good news about the brain scan.

I was hoping/praying there would be more good news yesterday about the bone scan David had on Tuesday.  So now I have to rationalize why the Dr. didn't call. He set a precedent by that first call.  

So...
1.  He didn't get the results yesterday. The brain scan was on a Friday. He got the results on Tuesday and called. The bone scan was Tuesday, so it's possible he didn't get them yet.

2.  The results were delivered but he didn't have time to read them.  He called after 5:00pm about the brain scan. And yesterday was his last working day this week so maybe he didn't look at them yet.  I don't even know for sure that he worked yesterday.

3. He got the results, read them, but didn't have a chance or think to call this time. He has other patients and a life. 

4.  He got the results and read them. He didn't call because the results were not good.  He called about the other results because he thought we could use good news. He didn't want to give us bad news the day before Thanksgiving.

I'm trying to go with option 1, 2 or 3. Please pray for option 1, 2 or 3.  Pray there is no cancer in the bone while you're at it.  Waiting is so difficult. 

David has gone to spend the rest of the week with his mother.  Please pray for them.

We (the girls and I) are here with family. Lots of them. We stayed up until past midnight last night playing Mexican Train and laughing.  No one is supposed to talk about cancer, by my request.  But it's there.  I just want everyone to have a nice time.  Cancer really puts a damper on a nice time.  

Please pray for us.  I pray you have a wonderful holiday with too much food and love and laughter.
