Tuesday evening... Overview

Tuesday tests are now over. Between tests we went to Deb's favorite Brazilian restaurant for lunch after a long fast. Deb is now in her PJ's on the couch watching the news and relaxing after a long hard day. Amanda and Ellie just called to say good night to Mimi (grandmother).


We had a nice visit in the Markham House office with Cynthia, the manager, Latoya, and Gino. We may be clients but are treated like family. 

Today we got the news that our classmate from Thailand passed away. Mrs P was 82. You can see her pix on posts from last year. Reports are that her husband returned to Thailand to be with her elderly mother(age 102) and aunt (age 106), who still go to market each day with their caregivers. Wow!

We met a new classmate named Kim and her son Brody from Louisiana. Brody is fifteen and immediately wanted us to know they live in northern La. and do not catch alligators! Guess he's a little sensitive about several popular TV programs.

Kim's case is almost a mirror image of Deb's and at several waiting rooms Deb and Kim got to compare notes. Kim has had myeloma longer and also has had a similar setback while on remission. They exchanged contact info and plan on becoming regular communicators.

Tomorrow Deb has a newly-developed MRI that the medical team here has invented. We saw the odd name on the schedule and inquired with our MRI staff Troy. Troy has cheerfully cared for Deb the whole time we have been coming to Little Rock.

  1. I am really commenting on "Thursday am" post, I can't figure out how to comment most of the time. when you were comparing the man's book to your blog, I think yours would be very interesting to read as a book (more than his). I'm praying for a good report tomorrow and our 242 group is praying also. (or is it "are praying".
