We met with Dr Meade around 2:30 today and he greeted us with, "I am so happy for you two!" Talk about a great way to find out the tests results were very good. The CAT Scan was clear and free of cancer. The lymph nodes were the correct size (under 1 cm) with only one slightly enlarged at 1.2 cm. Some were over 3 cm when we started this last September. He did find a blip in the heartbeat and had us get a EKG right away.
We also had a chance to drop into Molly's room on the 4th floor of the same building as our appointment. She was looking great after having a 8 - 9 hour surgery yesterday. She will need some help once at home, and I am sure Larry is working on that. We were there just after Larry and some friends left for lunch. So it was nice to talk with Molly. I had not been sure she would be ready to talk by then. She might come home Sat or Sun this week.
We got home around 5:30 and had a good supper, cooking all day in the crock pot. Bottom round roast, potatoes, onion, mushrooms, beef broth and cream of celery soup. Forgot to add the carrots this morning...
Thanks for everyone's prayers. Adele is declared in remission and is greatly relieved with this news. The Lord has helped us greatly.
We continue to love having Ruby (and Julie of course) here for the week, but that will come to an end on Sunday morning. I have spent every possible moment with Ruby and Julie, stopping work to be with them. We hope to visit GA in June and get in another possible visit later in July or August.
Thank you all for being so supportive. We appreciate it all.
Rick & Adele
