Back to the med center again today for MRI and CT scan. I feel like sometimes Asa's story for the day sounds like a scratched and broken record that goes something like, "We went. We did what we needed to. Asa survived. We came home." And the victory is in the getting it over with and coming home. Today was that way. Again. We took a famished toddler to the med center, waited around until he was beside himself, wrapped him up like a burrito and shoved him screaming in a tube for a glorified xray, took him out, waited until he cried himself to sleep, put him under and crammed him in a thumping tube, woke him up, fed him, listened to him burp, put him in a car seat, came home exhausted. A day in the life of Asa.
Thank you always for your prayers. We have a copy of the pictures. Other than seeing Asa's liver has grown, we are clueless. We will go for follow up in clinic on Thursday and they'll run bloodwork then, too, for the cancer protein marker, the one that was last 13, down from 51K+ and normal is 12 and below. Yay God! Miracle kiddo. Tests are complete for now! Please pray for Caroline. We ran into their family in CT. Caroline was having some odd issues and they have to move her back inpatient for a bit. Please pray for supernatural wisdom for docs and healing for her.
Thanks today for the escape back home. Grateful for what appears to be good results and what we hope to be last imaging for both the child and the parents' sake. Grateful to see Andy's nice digs today and that he's moving up in the world and has a neat roommate. Thankful for kids who cooked and covered and friend and a son who chauffeured my students about today. You are appreciated! Very grateful my boys can go to college and for God's more than abundant provision for that. Thankful that Asa has finally crashed after a long and taxing day.
