News update re Michele

We just heard from Michele’s doctor that the CT Scan she had on Wednesday revealed something they term “a cloudy or abnormal area” in her brain. They emphasized that it wasn’t a tumor and that she shouldn’t be overly concerned. However, they are obviously concerned because they want her to have an MRI next week to help them understand what this area is and whether it might be a factor in her seizure-like symptoms. We’re still waiting on EEG results.

It’s a kind of no-win situation in that you hope they find something, but you also hope they don’t find anything. We’ll just have to wait and see, and trust in prayer and God’s help for her and for her doctors as they try to figure out what’s wrong.

Sittin’ on the front porch, just a swingin’

Right now I am sittin’ on the front porch, just a swingin’…on our porch swing, with my laptop in my lap, watching the kids play outside for the first time in months. The weather is really beautiful, warm, sunny, with a nice breeze. And NO INSECTS (yet).

Michele made it through all of the various tests today. The mammogram showed that she doesn’t have a cancerous lump after all. That is great news. Now, we just need to wait for and hope that the EEG and CT Scan results will tell us what’s going on in her body that is causing these seizure-like episodes. Anyway, there is a lot to be thankful for.

How neat is it, to have the freedom of a wireless network and a wireless laptop that enables me to post to my blog, check my email, and do other things while sittin’ on the porch swing watching my kids play? As Steven Cohen of Library Stuff fame is so fond of stating, Suweeeet. (Reminds me of the woman named Stacy on “What Not to Wear” on TLC who constantly says, “Shut up!”)
