Matt's good friend from high school and his wife are in town this week, so we had company tonight. I'm just sitting down to the computer and at the same time wish I was snuggling into bed!
No news today. I didn't hear back from Sloan, as I had emailed them yesterday. I'm planning on calling tomorrow, although I'm not sure who I need to call. I'll start with my surgeon's office and see if they can direct me to someone that can help get Brady's scans scheduled. As far as our concerns with Brady this week, he is such a little mystery. He is very clingy one minute, and then chasing Eli around the house giggling the next. His tummy seems better, but his rib still looks funny to us. The feeling I got from Strong was that all they would do for us is schedule as scan, since there is no way to know if something is wrong without doing a scan first. It is reassuring to know that his urine levels (catecholamines) were collected in May and were normal. So I'm focusing my attention on getting a scan date for August at Sloan and just watching him like a hawk in the meantime.
For months I've been able to focus my prayer life on a whole lot of praise for all that God has done to heal Brady and bring our family back together again. I'm NEVER going to stop doing that, until my dying day!!! But, as I feel the grip of fear rising in me, I'm praying like I did back in January for God to show His awesome power and to keep this cancer away from Brady. I even felt a little bit bitter for having to pray that way again. Please keep our family in your prayers, that we will continue to trust God even in the scariest of circumstances and that His peace would pass all understanding as we continue on this roller coaster.
