Because We Love Her

Thursday, March 31st

March 31st, 2009 Posted in Daily News Post

Well now, today started out interesting.  Dana went to work even though she is trying like mad to feel better after a couple weeks of being run down.  Wonder what was on her mind to rob her of her energy….  Then, at noon, she called to let me know that she had to pick Chloe up from school, as she was sick.  Upset stomach, coughing, headache, and no energy.  Humm… wonder where all this came from.  Think we could all be passing it along to each other? 

So Dana wasn’t sure what was going to happen about the doctor’s appointment designed to read the MRI.  “Worst case scenario is you might be there alone” she told me.  It would depend on how Chloe was later.  She wanted to go, that’s for sure. 

Driving into the parking lot I saw Dana’s car so I knew I wouldn’t be alone.  Thank you God.  I didn’t want that.  They had just been called to the back room when I walked in, so we went for vitals, etc.  Chloe was 57 pounds and about 53 inches but don’t quote me on the actual height.  She was bounding around like she was in perfect health though so it was obvious whatever was bothering her earlier was gone for now. 

The IV nurse, Susan, who did a few of Chloe’s tubes was there and came to say hi.  She went off the record and said, “her scans look good.”  Dana tried to pull more from her but that didn’t fly.  However, soon Dr. Olsen came in and called us to look at the MRI shots.  Chloe had not seen the original and now she was able to see the difference as well.  “No significant change, stable.”  That’s what the report shows.  The shots looked good.  I couldn’t see any enlargement of the tumor at all.  To say we were relieved was an understatement.   

Dr. Olsen also plotted Chloe on the growth and weight charts where she placed in the twenty-five percentile for her age.  Very good!  This is where I’d expect from a girl who came from a smaller framed family.   

Next was our visit to the 3rd floor where Chloe and Dana spent so much time.  They bought the “Mama Mia” DVD for the floor.  It was like old home week with all the nurses and helpers very surprised to see how well Chloe looked.  Chloe was excited to see everyone as well and talked her way into a tour of “her floor.”  I left them to their tour, as I had to get home to students.  It isn’t hard to imagine her smile as she walked around the area she was so limited in just a little over a half year ago. 

We know you were praying for us and it shows.  Thank you for being there. 

Blessings,

Ron

    We have been awaiting the results and are very glad that Fred is behaving. Also very glad to hear theat Chloe was doing better at the end of the day…..hopefully it was just a little doctors appointment anxiety and everyone’s health begins to continue to improve.
