Hey all!
Abby here. Sorry it's been so long since my last blog post -- eh, wait, no I'm not! It's been six glorious months since our last trip to M.D. Anderson, but here we find ourselves again for mom's latest check up. I will be reporting on all the exciting events because I am here, in sunny Houston, where the weather is hot, the oil derricks are flowin', and the world's largest Chinese man plays basketball.
Ok, actually, only most of that last sentence is true. I will be reporting, but from approximately 1,846 miles away -- where the weather is mild, the molasses is flowin' (how do you think we make the beans?), and the world's GREATEST baseball team is busy being great. Apparently all the other members of my family are lazy and blog-shy, so believe it or not I have been enlisted FROM BOSTON to keep you -- you who are probably closer to Houston than I am -- informed of the proceedings.
So far: Kim and Dicky left Ruston early this morning, swung through Bush airport and picked up Carrie, then slid into MDA in time for Kimbo's blood tests around 1:30. Kim fearlessly (ok, there was a little fear) sucked down her banana-flavored chemistry shake and underwent the big scan. She says there was actually less to drink this time around, for whatever reason. We don't ask questions; we're just grateful. She is now relieved because the hardest (physical) part is over. Now she gets to exercise her most fine-tuned and favorite virtue, the one she so graciously passed on to her two daughters...patience.
And now it's off to real food for the first time since about 10:30 this morning. For the people in Houston anyway. I just get a call as they're squealing into the restaurant: "Do the blog, would you? We've got to go order."
As always, thanks for your prayers, thoughts, kind words, and well wishes. Keep 'em coming.

I am wondering if this is routine checkup or if something prompted the visit...
Thanks for the update Abby! We heard the check up was this week and our small group is praying for another good report. Love you ALL!
Come in Houston........Praying for good results for KIm during this visit.
Why are blogs so scary to us "older" folks....what would we do without the blogger children??

Kim,
The Kirbs are praying for you. We love you, ya know.
Oh,and Abby...thanks again for making this info so entertaining. I think there may be a market for your desert skills. Perhaps you could come up with some gourmet prep drinks, or maybe a banana cream prep pie or something. ;-)
