Great Small things

Mike had his PET Scan today. No results yet. We will hopefully get the report on Monday afternoon before we head to MD Anderson.

I made reservations for a hotel down near MD Anderson - MainStay Suites. It has a kitchen, laundry facilities, and a shuttle that can take us to and from the hospital. (Save on parking fees that way). Tricare will reimburse some expenses with receipts to include hotel, gas, and food. We will leave late Monday. I will post everyday we are down there!

The "Praise God" thing for today is that Mike has put some food down his mouth. The GI doctor said that he would only be able to tolerate clear liquids and Mike has eaten mash potatoes mixed to a thin consistency with gravy, apple butter mixed with water, chicken noodle soup blended to oblivion in the Vitamix, and even banana bread. I don't know how to explain it and I haven't made a big deal out of it in front of Mike, but my heart is singing loudly to the Lord. He wants to eat so bad. He hates the feeding tube and the formula. Thank you God for THIS day and THIS small but huge blessing.

Back to family night in front of the DVD player... Race to Witch Mountain is the movie of choice..

Prayer needs:
PET Scan results - miraculous news
Mike continues to eat food and gain weight
Details for trip to MD Anderson - everything from packing Elizabeth, to packing us and all the nitty gritty things that this trip will entail
School - lift Elizabeth up as she goes at this without us for a few weeks..
Me - that I can handle not being there for Elizabeth and for all the unknowns that we are about to encounter

Praise:
Food!
Pool full of laughing girls
Family nights together
