Tuesday October 14...10:30 pm

Robert saw his surgeon yesterday and expected to have an ultrasound of his pancreas. The Dr. was hopeful with what he felt in Robert's abdomen - enough so that he said he wanted to see the details on a CT scan instead of an ultrasound. So, Robert will have an CT scan sometime this week. Meanwhile, since we know Robert also sees a urologist this week regarding the kidney stones revealed by the scans in the hospital, we are trying to combine "scans" so both Dr's will get the readings they need from one scan! When the Dr's get their requests coordinated, the scan will be scheduled.
Tomorrow Robert has physical therapy EARLY in the morning, 7:15 am, and then sees his endochronologist (sp?) later in the morning. He is hoping for shorter needles for the syringes he is using to give himself insulin. :)
After a long day of packing yesterday (including most of the night) Rosanna finally got all three bags to weigh less than 50 lbs each. It took a lot of sorting and resorting. Robby and I took her to the airport EARLY this morning - we arrived at the airport at 5:30 am. and saw her through security. Then I got some coffee and Rob a doughnut, and we were back home by 7:45. I had a hard time staying awake on the drive home and at work today! Rosanna was in Henderson, Nebraska by 3:30 our time...it was raining there when she arrived. Our house was a little quieter tonight.
Life is full of transitions...most of them involve some challenges and adjustments...why is it "change is always perceived as loss", when in reality there is much to be gained through expanding our relationships and experiences??? I'm very proud of you, Rosanna, for following the Lord's leading and your heart...you are demonstrating courage in taking a risk, and you are trusting that God will equip you as you follow His call. Now, start your own blog and keep us posted on what you are doing!
Good night.
