Good evening.
Well, we are back from Oakland. We are so glad to be back, the trip was not an easy one. We left a little later than we wanted to, but just a few minutes. When we turned onto hwy 50 (towards Lake Tahoe) it started to snow. We were NOT expecting snow! It was snowing pretty hard, and we were thinking, 'great, we are going to be late.' We got to the 'chain-up' area and we saw that there were flares in the road. We knew we would be able to go on, we have a 4-wheel-drive with snow tires on it. Well, we couldn't go on because there was an accident on the summit and the road was closed. So, we had to turn around and go a different way~~~a longer way. It was snowing quite hard, and blowing, so at times it was white-out conditions. Therefore, we had to go rather slow. To sum it up, we were over an hour late. I called Children's Hospital and told them we would be late, so at least they were aware of it. When we got there we didn't have to wait long for the bone scan injection, and they came and took David for his chest CT right away. We had to wait for the radioactive medicine to course through David's body (takes 2 1/2 hours), so he had his bone scan at 11:45 (it was supposed to be at 10:30), and then we left. We stayed in Oakland at the Executive Inn & Suites, thanks to the Northern Nevada Children's Cancer Foundation. It was good that we stayed, we were all so exhausted!! It was such a long day yesterday. It was also a very emotional day, scan days always are. They are very stressful days!! So it was nice to be able to spend the night there and go home this morning. It was raining when we left, and then it cleared up the closer we got to home. But that storm is on it's way here!
Tomorrow is my younger daughter's birthday! I can't believe my children are getting older! Happy Birthday tomorrow, Rachel!!
We will get the results of David's scans on the 29th of this month. David has an oncology appointment at 11am on the 29th; so our scanxiety is not over yet! I will post when I know what the results are. Please keep praying that the scans stay stable, no active tumors. Thanks.
Thank you for visiting and checking in on David and the Koury Klan. Thank you for all the prayers, we need them! God bless you all. We love you.
