I Am Thankful
Thursday, November 27th, 2008Pics from Palm Springs  The boys were watching Alice in Wonderland this evening over at the Adams’s house. I didn’t have much planned for dinner and I figured that since it’s the night before Thanksgiving, I could have a pass and offer scrambled eggs, grilled cheese and soup, or something equally easy ( though tecnically […]
Good news
Tuesday, November 25th, 2008Clean bone marrows and no new lesions on the MIBG. We get the final read but we think that 2 old lesions are smaller and 1 old lesion is bigger. We know for sure that Sam’s catecholamines track his disease and this reinforces that.  We also sent samples of his bone marrows to UMichigan and UVermont […]
Untrained Eye Impression of the Scan
Friday, November 21st, 2008Sammy was a champ today. He had his scan at 7:15 this morning because Laureen, the wonderful tech rescheduled the afternoon scan and came in early for us so Sam wouldn’t have to do a scan after a bone marrow biopsy – which turned out to be a good thing. It was hard to tell on […]

Holding Steady
Tuesday, November 11th, 2008Things are holding steady here. Our VMA/HVA numbers were almost the exact same last week as the week before.  We’d like to see them go down but happy they are not going up.  We had a great time with my dad and Stephanie in town. They were great with the boys and a huge help. […]
