MRI results are in

This afternoon we heard from our research nurse with the news about the MRI from Monday. The results were negative--meaning there was no evidence of any cancer in the brain. PRAISE THE LORD! While we were not worried about it, it was great to receive confirmation. I guess the torture was worth it.

One thing I forgot to mention in my last post -- the daily dosage of my cancer drug has been decreased by half. It's hoped (although not known) that dropping to a lower dose might make a positive difference in my taste. Ultimately, I need to be able to stop losing and at least maintain my weight.

It has been raining almost continuously since yesterday morning here. I love it! I just heard on the 6:00 news that there has been a report of 5" of rain somewhere here in town. Boy, do we need it! It looks like it may rain at least through Sunday night. Maybe we'll catch some good run-off in our lakes. We really need that.

For all of you procrastinators out there, you have about six hours to get your 1040s sent in!

Later...

Kenny, as I said on your last post, we are so glad to hear the good news.

About the rain: By around 7:30 this evening, Lloyd had poured out 5.6" of rain from our gauge and it kept on raining, so we would have more out there now. Isn't that something??? Thank the Lord!

Did the nurse say if they found your head empty or not? I know you said you were afraid they wouldn't find anything. :-)

Love y'all,
Virginia & Lloyd
