San Antonio Bound...Part 2

OK. Mom got a phone call last week from CTRC wanting her to come back down for more testing. So after enduring IV's on Thursday and Friday all day, plus on Monday (not to mention some ill-advised steak fingers with french fries from DQ) she headed back down to SA this week with Dad.

Thankfully, SA went well this time. They have done all of her tests, and she's back in the study as of next Tuesday (7/28)!! Now, I don't know if this means that she'll just start here, about 4 weeks late, or if she's starting from the beginning, and will be 4 weeks behind everyone else. I will let everyone know, however, as soon as I know.

So we appear to be on the upswing of the roller coaster. You know, the part where the train clicks into the chain that pulls you upward? Clickety clack, all the way up. We just don't know if we are headed for a plateau or the downswing again.

Pray for Mom as she starts this trial. I know she's excited, but scared too. One of the major side effects of this drug is anorexia, and if there's anything we DON'T need right now, it's anorexia.

Selfishly, I'm going to ask for a lot of prayers for us right now. Besides dealing with all this stuff with Mom, Pete and I have been dealing with a lot. He's taking the bar exam next week, and currently no one seems to want to hire a new attorney who has little experience. He's studying about 15 hours a day right now. We just found out some of our very closest friends are moving 3 weeks after the bar exam - to Nashville!! It has to do with a family situation for her. Also, there is another situation that we are choosing to keep kinda quiet about (no baby, no divorce, no moving, no health issues for either of us) but needs a lot of prayer for us to make the right decision. I'll go into more explanation later, but until the situation is resolved, I really can't. Please just pray that we make the right decision and that God will give us peace. For those of you who do know, please don't say too much. Like I said, we're keeping quiet about it, but we definitely need prayer.

  1. I sure hope she gets in this time. I cannot imagine the emotional upheaval this must be sending ya'll through. As always, you're in my prayers. *hugs*
