So...it's been a great weekend, hasn't it? The kids and I went to the beach with friends on Friday and enjoyed beautiful weather while Kim rested and recovered from her biopsy at her parent's house. We enjoyed a flag-football game played by a friend's son and later a bon-fire at our neighbors to wrap up a great Saturday. Today we drove to Sequim to pick Kim up from the Nadon Bed and Breakfast Recovery Center. The Huskies won...the Seahawks won...doesn't get much better than that, does it?
Or does it?
When Kim and I arrived home she discovered a message from her surgeon, Dr. Nichols stating that he had heard from PhenoPaths, the world-class lab in Seattle reviewing her case. The opinion of PhenoPaths is that the tumor in her chest is benign...no malignancy.
Now I understand the phrase "cautiously optimistic". We still need to hear from the National Institute of Health, but we are definitely headed in the right direction. We meet with Dr.s Nichols and Anderson tomorrow to do a post-op check-up from her biopsy on Friday, September 25. We hope to hear more answers tomorrow.
So...while we thought we had it nailed down, the intrigue has re-entered the situation. Apparently it could still be a goiter, gargoyle, or skunk...we'll have to wait and see. Personally...I'm still hoping for a third boob...no caution in my optimism.
Tonight we are thanking God for watching over us and for the benefit of all the prayer we have been blessed with. We're hoping we are nearing the end of our mystery.
Have a great week.

ReplyDeleteSteve & Kim, I am sorry I have been silent since I found out about all the happenings. I can assure you that even though you have not heard from me God has. I have been actively praying for God's healing power, strength, peace that passes understanding and all that God knows you need. God does know all your needs and promises to provide for every need to those who wait and trust in HIm. I love you and you are on my heart and in my prayers 24/7.
