Michellie's scans and appointments from September were clear. There was no sign of cancer, not that we were expecting anything either. Her stomach troubles ramped up a bit more into October, and PMS was a nightmare for several days. Just ramp up the pain killers they tell us and use a heating pad. Missing a few days of school is considered something of a norm for girls.
The doctors decided to run a PET scan after the initial tests to determine that Michellie's thymus was returning to its normal size after chemo and that everything was as it should be. So, another trip to Halifax. This time David and Michellie headed out and they enjoyed an evening with The Krochko's. Diane was excellent at filling Michellie up so she wouldn't be hungry for the wait time before the scan. Everything was excellent and the scan was clean. We can all let the 6th month marker pass with success!
For the trip home, there was a stop at the airport to pick up Grandma and Grandpa. There was a hurricane passing through the area, but their plane landed without incident and only 30 minutes late. The ride home was in a downpour, and just as they got to Judique to say they were getting close, the power went out at the house. Michelle ran around to get candles lit in all the rooms, and warned everyone to take one more bathroom break before arrival - incase the power was out for a while. This was almost a deja vu to the Wiltink visit in July! Same temperature too - warm tropics! Life is always eventful around here. After a snack and the inital chatting, the power returned in time for bed, and everyone's trip to the lu. Saved!
