Lily got an A+ report today from her oncologist!!
A much younger Andy with his Aunt Sis (circa 1974)
Mr. B, Mr. Jeff Mere and the ever classy Mrs. Virginia Mohr.
Great News! Trish called this morning to share the e-mail she received from the oncologist concerning Lily's MRI results. His words were: "the report says no sign of the residual tumor, this is great news." Lily still has one more scan scheduled for next Wednesday to check on the spot on her leg. Hopefully the news from that test will be as positive as this one. Poor Lily is gaining an awareness to her hospital visits and is beginning to fight all attempts to put her IV's in. Trish said the nurses are awesome but certainly have their work cut out for them. She is hoping that they can leave the IV port in on Tuesday from the isotope injection so they can use the same one on Wednesday when they give her the anesthetic for the MIBG scan. They did that the last time and with a splint on it she kept it in and it saves her from an additional stick.
Last week Mr. Bichler learned that his favorite aunt had passed away. Aunt Sis probably knew him about as well as any one as evidenced by her pet name for him, the "little pisser". I'm not sure where that originated and maybe I don't want to know. Aunt Sis has not been well for quite a while and we kind of lost touch with her when her son moved her to upstate New York so she could be closer to him. She was 93 years old and I think she has been in a nursing home for the last few years and I suspect she had dementia. This comes on the heals of another devastating loss last month of a dear teaching friend, Virginia Mohr. We learned of her death on our return from Alaska. They were very special people and we will miss them very much.
I will be heading out to Delaware next week to watch Luke while Trish and Chad take Lily for her scan. Keep checking the blog, we have some special things planned. A possible camping trip to Cape Henlopen and a ferry ride across the Delaware Bay to Cape May, New Jersey. I'm sure that I am much more excited about these ventures than Luke, but that's OK.
