Scan for a MAN

We could feel your prayers and your loving thoughts even as we got up this morning to keep our CT Scan appointment at Coliseum Northside Hospital. We again felt that sense of Peace that comes knowing you are there. Upon arrival at the hospital there was no one in the waiting room, another plus since we are ever mindful of the low WBC at this time lowering resistance to "bugs." An even nicer than normal radiology technician took charge of the Knight in a very caring manner and made him as comfortable as possible throughout the procedure. By nine o'clock Paul had us home again in the comfort of Howard's favorite chair. Howard commented that "the anticipation of this test was nothing compared to trying to drink THAT CONCOCTION before going in for it!" The sense of relief that comes after a dreaded procedure is ever sweet. As we write this update, Howard's skin tone and his overall condition seem much improved. Upon speaking with a nurse at the Center we learned that the WBC should already be increasing, (knowledge little realized by us that we are truly happy to have now learned.) We look forward to positive results from the scan when we meet with our oncologist on this Wednesday.

On the ride home we were aware of the cherry trees, the azaleas and dogwood trees all breaking into bloom....the promise of spring, Mother Nature's time of renewal. As we all move forward in our journeys we once again wish you all Peace and Love.
