Waiting Rooms

Hello to all...just a quick update, since one of the things you do have at M. D. Anderson is lots of waiting room time. We made the trip fine this morning, just in time to check in and race to the first test at 2:00.

We are in our 2nd waiting room, the first being the blood work. Kim is sipping on her not-so-delicious "berry smoothie" in anticipation of a 4-something CT scan with a chest X-ray following. A friend sent me a Dave Barry piece that described this concoction more colorfully than I can:

"It tastes - and here I am being kind - like a mixture of goat spit and urinal cleanser, with just a hint of lemon."

All is well so far. Kim's got "game"...and we are in a room with about 50 other people, many of whom are very sick and need your prayers as well. We anticipate being all wrapped up by 6:00 or so. I'll get back on later tonight.

As most of you know, our appointment with the major doctor dude, which was scheduled for this coming Thursday, has been postponed until next Tuesday. We asked his nurse today if anyone else in the practice could give us any of today's results and she said no. So...we'll probably move back toward Ruston late tomorrow and come back next week.

Thanks for your prayers. We'll keep you posted.
