And Now We Know...


I decided last week that I wouldn't blog again until I knew the results of my dad's PET Scan from Thursday. My mom called me this morning and said that the doctor asked that he meet with her to discuss the results. After I picked my heart up off the floor, I sat on pins and needles all morning just waiting (that't realllllllllly hard if you're not a patient person).

Mom called back around noon to say, (ENVELOPE PLEASE):

The spots on the liver showed NOTHING during the PET Scan! (Thank God)
The spot on the left lung showed NOTHING during the PET Scan! (Praise the Lord)
There are 2 tiny spots on the right lung that will need to be biopsied but they're so small that they can't biopsy them with a needle. A lung specialist is going to look at his scans and see if they can do another scan or if they need to do a surgical biopsy. There is a chance that he will have to undergo some chemotherapy for these 'suspicious spots' and we are ready to do whatever is necessary to get rid of them for good. All of his other organs came back clean...I feel so incredibly blessed. I know there is power in prayer and we've had a lot of people praying. I just can't express how relieved I am...

That is awesome! I know how scary it can be, and waiting is the worst. Missed you this past weekend. We need to plan something soon!
