Happy Easter

It's Easter weekend and we're all at home. We've eked out an extra night from our doctors so we won't have to return until Monday sometime.

The oncologist called with the results of Henry's tests. His CT of his sinuses looks better than the last one indicating an improvement due to the medicines he's been taking for his sinusitis. His chest x-ray was clean and the placement of his catheter is fine. His MRI remained unchanged. There remain some abnormalities which our doctor said he would like to be able to tell us were gone at this point. They may indicate inflammation due to chemotherapy but we must treat them as if they are cancer cells. No one at this point can tell us what they are - there is just not enough information to tell. We've become comfortable with some uncertainty, but this MRI, although we expected to be the same, took us a little aback with the vagueness of it's results. The upshot is that basically the doctors hoped that the 'abnormalities' would have cleared up by now. We're slowly coming to realize that this is just going to be a waiting game for a long time to come.

Recently we received back our photos from the Flashes of Hope photography session we participated in back in early February. We're pleased to have them back and at how they turned out.

Beautiful pictures!!! They say so much about your relationship...I love the one titled "Just Us". The connection between you is evident. We're glad you got to go home for awhile...and sorry that the test are still uncertain. That's tough.

We hope the Easter bunny visits with lots of goodies. Love, Aunt Debbie and Uncle Bob

Oh how precious! I just love black and white photo's. The depth of love is so apparent in those photo's. What a gift!

I am so glad that little H is home with his family for Easter. Although the uncertainty of the MRI results is unsettling, the good news is that it isn't something for sure. I pray that you all can take some comfort in that.

My love and prayers to you all.

Happy Easter
