Just a quick update
We stayed relatively on schedule today, and were even able to squeeze in an additional test that was added at the last minute.
This morning we had a brief exam by a doctor at the myeloma clinic, and we were very encouraged. Mom's kidneys are functional great and her calcium level is normal too. We did learn she has a slight heart murmur which is why they ordered an echo.
Dad and I were able to tag team the tests today. I got her started this morning and we joined up for the afternoon. He is handling the evening shift. They are actually still at the hospital finishing up the MRI.
Tomorrow we'll meet with our oncologist for the first time, and learn the results of all these tests.
I'm sure mom and dad will want to update soon, but I wanted to let everyone know today went really well.
Thank you for all your love and support.

Hi Vern, Deb, and Amanda,
ReplyDeleteI know you will be glad when your rigorous tests are finished, Deb. Hang in there, we are praying for you!
Kara had her baby yesterday. His name is Eric Montana Phillippi, weighed 6 1/2 lb., and was 18 1/2 inches long. They are going to call him Montana. Yours will be here soon!
We love you,
Bruce and Daria
