Preliminary Results

Well, we are back home again. The first day of testing went relatively easily. The only glitch was we lost the first IV during insertion and had to take a short break and repeat the process and she had to have the IV in her hand which was not okay with her at all. After a few tears she finally accepted the fact that it was there for a short time. The IV was rather finicky during the 2 procedures that required it and it was very positional for giving the required dyes during the procedures. Thankfully it was able to be removed that afternoon and we were off for a wonderful afternoon of fun.

We went to lunch and then checked in at our hotel. We spent about an hour in the pool and then dried off and took our daughter to see Horton Hears a Who which we all enjoyed and got a lot of great laughs out of. Then it was off to dinner, after dinner we realized we had forgotten a book to read before bed so that was a great excuse to stop in at a local book store and purchase a new book. Then it was a short walk back to our hotel where our princess quickly donned her jammies and was read her new book. She was fast asleep moments after "THE END" and slept for almost 12 hours.

Today we had the final scan and the preliminary results look great. If the final results are great we won't have to repeat our visit for a year and the best news of all is that we are now officially 5 years off treatment and unless something looks out of place we should not have to repeat scans again! WHOOOOO HOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
