And the results are in!

Heading to Fargo early in the morning, back to the clinic brought back many not so distant memories.  Somehow the trip put a pit in our stomaches as we were getting closer and closer.

We spent much of the day waiting around.  Getting the pre-procedure "cocktail" and drinking it every half hour for 2 hours to get ready for the dye activated CT scan.

After the scan and blood work - we had a couple hours to waste.  We had lunch and picked up a few things and then headed back to the Roger Maris - to see the doctor. 

We waited for awhile - but found that the news was worth waiting for! 

Everything shows remission - the blood work, the CT scan, the physical exam............... 

No cancer is showing up at this point anywhere!

This is excellent news!  Next follow-up check-up is in September!

and a Happy Father's Day it was!

Today I spent the day with my dad -

and with my brother Tom and his wife Carol and their 3 boys. 

It was a perfect day to spend at the lake.

We had a great time!  I am so thankful that I still have my dad -

and that I was able to spend this day with him.

Here are the two great dads together!

The boys out on the "party pad".

Thanks for having us!  It was a GREAT day!

Back by Popular Demand!

OK - I'm back - maybe not that popular - but I did get asked about it by one person!  First:

Emery - the reason I started this blog in the first place -- He is doing well.  He is feeling good - He has more blood work, a CT scan and a doctor's appointment at the end of June -- That is when he will know where he's standing with the cancer - and how the treatments effectivally shrunk his spleen and lymph nodes.

In other news -- I have been traveling -- I spend some time in Oklahoma, visiting my cousins down there, and learning somethings that hopefully are leading to a new line of work for me -- very fun - very relaxing -

Last week I spent some time in Wisconsin with my dear friend Judy -- she works for Hospice Care - I was able to help her for a couple days with a big event -- so fun to be there! 

Now we're waiting for the weather to get warm again so we can do some lawn mowing and weed wacking and enjoy the summer!  Hope you are enjoying yours too!
