Normal

Due to John's fever last week, his scans were rescheduled.  He was able to get two MRIs done while he was in the hospital last week.  His PET scan was rescheduled for yesterday and he was supposed to fast for it.  He woke up and drake gatorade so he had to reschedule. Because of that, we had what could have been a typical Saturday for us pre-cancer.  It was SO nice!  We got up, had breakfast, took Daniel in for a well-child visit.  We had lunch then went out shopping.  We re-decorated and repurposed our loft last year.  (Before/After - I have to show off my friend's work; she did an AMAZING job!)  We are getting rid of a couch that no longer fits in our loft, so we went out shopping for a new chair. The boys LOVED trying out all the "comfy" couches, chairs and beds. They had so much find "finding" kitchens, washer/driers, beds, etc.  It was probably better than Disneyland.  I think they got the same thrill but we didn't have any lines to stand in.  That is probably the most walking John has done in a few months, and he survived!  When we got home the boys told us that we should have brought one of the comfy chairs home with us :)  We didn't bring a new chair home, but we did find another person to pray for us.  One of the salesmen at RC Willey has added us to his prayers.  

Now I am sitting in the waiting room waiting for John to finish his PET scan.  Earlier today we met with the ENT oncologist.  He stuck a camera up John's nose and we all watched the tv screen to see the progress.  The first time we saw it three months ago, it looked like a giant bunch of grapes stuck inside; today it looked more like a single blister.  The ENT oncologist is thrilled with the progress the nose tumor has made.  Surgery is still a possibility but he said it would be a simple out-patient procedure.  He is not scheduling or planning a surgery right now though.   We will have another follow-up with him mid-radiation. The nose tumor was the only one the ENT was following.  So we will have a more complete evaluation from our doctor sometime after the PET scan report is finalized tomorrow.
