The sweetest word....

One of the sweetest words in the English language must be 'normal'......our lives have been far from normal so we value that word probably more than most.

Alex's MRI, done to locate any abnormal or enlarged lymph nodes in his neck so they can be biopsied, came back 'perfectly normal'.  So says the radiologist and his oncologist.  We are still waiting for Stanford to review the scans and weigh in but for now.....it's normal.

So what does that mean?  We wait and watch and have another PET scan in a couple of months.  Alex seems to be keeping his latest sinus infection at bay.  His lowered immunosuppressent medicine may be helping in allowing his body to fight the infection...normally.  😊

We carry on with our normal routine - bowling, work, trips to Solvang, lunch with friends, our latest home improvement project, running the Foundation, thankfulness for the days we have together.....maybe we'll even get a family vacation snuck in there somewhere.
