Danni went to Radiology today for the first time at Parkview North in Ft. Wayne. The facility is brand new and the people there are very kind and helpful. She did NOT have a treatment today. They made a mask for her face and took a 3-D cat scan of her head to get images of the remaining tumors. The purpose for this was to prepare the machinery to be accurate and hold her head still when she does start her treatments next Tuesday or Wednesday.

The doctor was very knowledgeable and had great bedside manner. I feel very confident about taking Danni there. He examined her and backed her down on some of her medication; they also took blood to make sure that her medication doses were working properly.

The doctor also mentioned that not all of the tumors are made up of the aggressive type, so we took that as good news. The others are made of more moderate type. The wafers were specifically to take care of the tumor left around the surgery site but would have little effect on the other tumors that the surgeon couldn't get to. Weather permitting, tomorrow is "staples out" day. I don't thing Danni is looking too forward to this. Please pray for peace for her and that we get there in one piece on the roads if we go.

Christy,
2 Cor 1:3&4 (NIV) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of sympathy(pity and mercy) and the God (Who Is the Source) of every comfort(consolation and encouragement), Who comforts(consoles and encourages)us in every trouble(clamity and affliction), so that we may also be able to comfort those who are in any troubleor distress.
I'm not going through anything like you're dealing with right now but your strength has encouraged me and inspires me daily. May God with you and bless you.May you continue to draw from His wisdom,strength and comfort. you and Danni are in my prayers daily.
