We are done day one of tests. We started bright and early ready for the PET scan, and that was most of the morning. We followed that with an update with our coordinator as she did height and weight. Michellie appears to have maybe grown a centimeter and a half, and maintained her weight throughout this whole experience. We followed this with a trip to get a CT scan. When we arrived, the nurse was sick today and there was no one to utilize Michellie's Port-A-Cath, so until they could find someone we had a 45 minute wait. In that time we decided to go for an X-Ray as it was just down the hall and then it would be done. We finished this and then waited some more for the CT Scan. Finally they called down our coordinator and she prepared Michellie and then withdrew the access afterwards. By 3:00 pm we were home free. We did a little detour, to Hydrostone, and Michellie picked out a strawberry vinagrette to take home from our favorite store, Liquid Gold. She loved tasting all the oils and vinegars. We did a stop at Starbucks to use one of the gift certificates sent to her, and she had a nice smile with her Vanilla Bean Creme in hand.
Our evening has been a nice quiet one, resting up for tomorrow's crazy schedule. We will have some results tomorrow, but not the big radiation one, so we will let people know as soon as we know.
