It’s MRI time again and we can use all of your good thoughts, prayers or whatever you do to make good things happen.  You’ve been successful so far; please keep it up.   

Monday morning, Dana and I will, once again, be with Chloe for her MRI at Emanuel Hospital.  It’s a familiar room and a familiar procedure but it doesn’t make it any easier.  We have a consult set for Friday to have the results read to us.  We are expecting the best so you are welcome to join us in that expectation. 

Chloe is happy and appears healthy, however, we are very concerned about the weight loss she has experienced.  She is floating just above 50 pounds again so she is back on periactin (sp?) to help stimulate her appetite.  Let’s hope this kick starts a new eating routine that will continue without the meds in the near future. 

We just got home from the Cathedral Park Jazz Festival where the kids were able to take in some great music and see the St. Johns Bridge from a whole different angle, underneath.  It truly is a magnificent structure.  If you haven’t seen it I suggest a google tour.

Make-a-Wish has given us another opportunity to have a fun night out.  We are invited to a Beavers’ baseball game at PGE park.  This will be a first for some of us.  It should be great fun.  With Chloe’s luck we’ll probably even get a foul ball.  The invitation comes at a good time when the family has been forced to tighten their belts quite a bit.  But that’s another story.  It is, however, a great learning opportunity for the kids.   

Keep an eye on the site to see what the MRI results are.  We will post them as soon as we hear any news. 

Be well and enjoy your summer! 

Blessings,

Ron
