Good morning, fellow bloggers,
It is 7:44 on a cold, clear, crisp Houston morning. Thanks for the prayers and posts. It was a quiet night and Kim is still sleeping. I was up early to call the radiation lab [by 6:30 a.m.] to confirm we would be there at 11:00 a.m. and get the protocols for the test today. Looks like Kim can eat anything she wants today [with a few exceptions], so she won't be on the "no food" program.
Looks like we will have a bit of a less harried day today, too, and a better fed one for the patient. The only things scheduled [so far] for the day are a "Octreotide Administration" at 11:00 and an "Octreotide scan" at 3:00 p.m. The "administration" is simply an injection of a radioactive element that is more conducive to absorption by carcenoid tumors. She'll get a scan 4 hours after and a scan 24 hours after.
We'll be around, EATING, and waiting to see what else pops up on the patient schedule.
Thanks for finding us...and, for you virgin bloggers, thanks for trying it out. It is fun to find your comments and encouraging to hear from so many that have "come" with us here.
We love you,
Dicky [for the both of us]

It was cool to scan through the blogs to see how many people are praying for ya!! We are knocking on His Door for you 2, and He is busy with the phone calls, too. May God's Peace, Love, and Comfort be with you both!

May Christ be your strength to do all the things that will be required of you this day. Thanks, for the post it helps us all to walk by faith with you. The Wed. Ladies will be praying.
Kim will be "Aglow" today! Glad you are able to catch up with rest-and most important "FOOD"! Wisdom God-we are asking for the Doctor's wisdom! WARNING-blogging is addictive. I have been posting since our Canada trip this summer. You will love it! MASS COMMUNICATION at its best!
Love & Prayers for you both!
I've been hanging on to every word that is posted...and praying for every step Kim is having to go through.
Happy eating and big hugs!
love, jessica
Your blog has beeb added to my blogline, so each new entry pops up on my screen, and that always prompts me to pray for you and kim. I pray in between times as well, but it should be noted that the more you post, the more I pray!! LOL We love you...hang in there...there is a whole new church in Ada, OK praying for y'all!
Love, Roz Pack
Praise God for sweet sleep. Thanks Dicky for keeping us posted. We love you and we are praying for the peace that surpasses all knowledge. So thankful for MD Anderson and all of its staff.
Love, Melinda
Jason spoke about suffering last night at our missio Dei meeting. More specifically, how does the suffering of Jesus speak to us in our specific context. The topic made me think of you and yours. After Corrie showed me your blog, I felt honored that you all would share this intimate process of doubts/questions/hopes/fears. I am going to link here from our missio Dei blog and know that our students will get a glimpse of Jesus' heart in these words you leave for us. Thank you and traveling mercies.
Love the picture - I recognize Kim but who's the young guy beside her? Praying for God's immense arms to wrap around to give you amazing warmth. Love, Kim (the one in S. FL)
Yeah for food!
sounds like a "light" day - hope that the scans are truly helpful.

Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed;
Save me, and I shall be saved,
For YOU ARE MY PRAISE.
Jeremiah 17:14
Hey guys, One of my favorite pastors used this quote in church and if its ok I want to throw it back at ya'll.
I came to the swift, raging river and the roar held the echo of fear; "O, Lord, give me wings to fly "over" if you are as you promise quite near." But He said, "trust the grace I am giving, all pervasive, sufficient for you, take my hand, we will face this together- but my plan is not "over"...but THROUGH..."
Whatever you need...i'm around...Love ya'll, Peat.
Thanks for keeping us updated with your blog. You two are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Rita
Hey Guys. Hope your day was as good as possible. You know we love you and are praying. Jack and Ginny
We are constantly, constantly praying for you; you are loved and lifted up as (we're sure)you're aware. This is a wonderful thing that allows us to keep up with you without infringing on your privacy. Love,
From your Roberts girls
We've got the Little Rock folks covering you both in prayer! We've been there and you are both on our minds. Much love, Jennifer
