Good evening.

Ok. I called Connie today, and she finally called me back. The results of the bone scan are not back yet. She said that is odd, usually they are back sooner. So she will be calling me tomorrow with those results. The results of the CT scan are a mixed bag. The good news is 'stable disease' and no new nodules. The bad news is 'stable disease' meaning there is disease. The couple nodules they are watching are unchanged~~which is fantastic news! Trust me, I know how wonderful that news is. We just wanted him to be NED (No Evidence of Disease), and he clearly is not as long as there is disease. I have to remember what I learned from our online support group; and that is 'Don't bleed until you are shot,' and we have not been shot, yet. We are not hemorrhaging, we have not been shot, we have just been grazed. If these nodules stay in his lungs and never change, that would be fantastic! Connie said they are nothing to worry about at this point. So we won't worry. Besides, God is in control. That can be a very difficult pill to swallow sometimes. It is so hard for us to watch our precious son go through what he has gone through the past 2+ years. But we know God has a plan for him; and us! There are lessons we are supposed to learn through all this. I just wish I knew that everything was going to be fine. I guess it is, one way or another. Like I said before, David is in a win-win situation. If he dies, he wins because he will be in heaven. If he lives, he wins because he is alive!! So he wins either way! So that is the result of the CT scan. We are breathing somewhat easier. We can 'relax' for another 3 months. Well, 2 1/2 months anyway. Lol.

David did pretty good in PT today. I forgot to tell you that Connie wants David to build up his stamina by walking. She said on the days he has PT he is to walk for 20 minutes. On the days he doesn't have PT he is to walk for 45 minutes. So tonight we went for a walk before dinner. He only made 17 minutes, but he did great. It is freezing, so his knee was causing him a bit of pain. But he walked anyway. I told him 17 minutes was ok. So tomorrow we will walk another (hopefully) 20 minutes. Connie also said that on days where it is too windy, rainy, icy, snowy, etc. he can use the treadmill for 20 minutes. But she would rather him be outside. I agreed 100% with her. Please continue to pray for him. Thanks.

I will post tomorrow after I get the results of the bone scan. We are praying that scan comes out totally clear! Thank you for visiting and checking in on David. Please continue to pray for him, and us. And to the people who have deposited to David's account, thank you. You know who you are. We appreciate it more than you know. Have a good night. God bless you all. We love you.
