Tuesday-Left walking; returned in a wheelchair

It's been a long day. Deb had a lengthy PET scan, blood, urine, MRI,and painful bone marrow test. By evening, she could not walk. We used a wheel chair to go see the APN (advanced practice nurse). She consulted with the doc on duty who suggested rest until morning. He said bone marrow tests sometimes end up like this.


The pix shows the sugary drink Deb has to drink after getting the radioactive isotopes that reveal her innards to the PET scan. The sugary drink is drawn to any tumors.

I got Deb to the apartment and into her recliner. A good supper and she felt better, but still no walking.

We met many new classmates today. One was wearing this T-shirt, which Deb really liked.


A number were first-day classmates and as scared and helpless as we were a few months ago. We were eager to share what we'd learned. Like one beggar telling another beggar where to find food! We are so grateful how God has provided and directed us!

Some new classmates from Conyers, Ga had been given the run-around at Emory for a while. Another had similar experiences at the Mayo clinic. This seems like the best place for multiple myeloma.It is for us!

We heard from Deb's brother Tim who had taken their mom back to the ER in Warner Robins. So for now, we do not know what's going on.

Blessings all!
