WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14, 2012

Good evening.

I am sorry I haven't updated for so long.

Things are going ok. We have had some 'exciting' things happen. For example, 2 weeks ago Bryon and I donated blood; something we have done many times. I have been donating since I was 18 years old! We both have a rare blood type, so we give every 8 weeks. Anyway, for the first time everI fainted after donating!! I have NEVER had that happen before. I am glad Bryon was there to get the proper people to take care of me. It was kinda scary. It was also embarrassing! But I am fine, and I will donate again. Also, our house situation has changed. We were able to obtain a short sale on our house. We are sad about that, but we will be fine. Everything will work out.

David will be having scans again on March 23rd. Please pray for stable scans. I am starting to get scanxiety about the scans. I would love for David to have 'clear' scans, but I will be content with stable! As long as the tumors aren't growing I will be happy. We have to go to Oakland for the scans this time. Connie said it just didn't work out having them done in Reno, even though that is way more convenient for us! Oh well, that is fine. We will leave early Friday morning and come home Saturday. We have discovered we are just way too old to make it a 16+ hour day! The extra expense of a night in a hotel is worth the piece of mind for our safety. Please pray for our safety as we travel to David's scans. Thanks.

The other new development is Connie is setting David up with a gastroenterologist. She is concerned about his poor weight gain (and his frequent loss of weight), his tummy problems, his VERY frequent nausea, and his bowel issues. She thinks he needs to be looked at by someone who is a specialist in that area. She said with the resection and the area that was removed, she wants to find out if anything can be done to help with his issues, or is this just his life forever. So I will let you know what we find out after he has that appointment. Maybe we will get some answers.

Well, that is about all that is happening for now. Thanks for visiting and checking in. Please pray for David's upcoming scans. Thank you. God bless you all. We love you.
