Emily’s Smiles through Difficult Trials

Emily got home late Tuesday afternoon, still sleepy, but HOME!  Test results will come in about a week.  Apparently Emily dreamed about her old pink hermit crab “Hello Kitty” during her tests because upon waking that’s all she talked about for hours.  So, Eddie had to go on a hermit crab mission upon arriving back home!  Unless things change, they have to be back at Duke after Thanksgiving.  Monday & Tuesday they do bloodwork, hospital admission, etc.  Then chemotherapy should start on Wednesday, 11/29.  Until then they have things to do at home in preparation for the months ahead of them.  I’ll update again soon when there is more to tell.  Please keep praying that God will continue to be their guiding light during this difficult time.

Just heard that Emily has completed this round of testing and is resting comfortably back at the apt.  The MRI results from Friday were good and the tests today (bone marrow, spinal, etc.) results will not be heard for about a week.  I believe the fever is gone now too.   Good news!!!!  We look forward to Emily being back home for the week of Thanksgiving and feeling much better!
