Hello to All - Thank God the sun is shining! It isn't suppose to for the rest of the week, but we have had 2 1/2 days of it. I know be quiet from all you in Kansas, but your rain and storms will be here soon enough. Clint I hope you are alright in CO, as Mom would say, "Go to the basement"
Things here have been alright. Bo has been having issues with his feet/ankles swelling. He went to Duke on Tuesday and they ran some tests. Bo has another part of the hospital looking at his case, rheumatology (spelling). It sounds like, smelt like, looked like gout, but the test says it isn't gout. Maybe pseudogout, but guess what, they want to wait and see what happens. So we are planned to go up June 25th, maybe sooner if the brain trust of Duke gets any hints on what is happening. Seriously is anyone keeping tabs: oncology (Lung), surgery of transplant and all the fields Bo visited from his complications (ICU, ENT, vocal cords, respiratory, GI for feeding tube and wrap procedure, physical therapy for body and hand) Radiology/Oncology Specialist, Brain Surgeon, Brain Oncology, Rheumotology, I know I missed some...can you imagine the group that gets together to talk about him. Who is in charge? I guess Dr. Crawford, he won the Bo (or more dreaded Christi) lottery first. No complaints, but I am beginning to think that Bo to many times previously in his life said he disliked Duke (he is a UNC fan) so now we are having to love all parts of DUKE. The doctors love it when I play doctor and try to guess what the problem is, so if you all have any ideas throw it at me, I am not afraid to throw anything at them. (someone mentioned with the heat wave dehydration would have some effects like gout on him....hmmmm)
Love to All
Christi, Bo and Addi
A huge congrats to Jerrold for having a clear scan!
PS I almost forgot. At church on Sunday Addi was with me quietly working on a book that has puzzles inside it. It was new so she had to tear the puzzle pieces apart. As she was doing this, (proves a child is always listening) the readings were happening. The second story about about someone being a terror. Addi not too quietly looks a me and says, "I am terror." The woman beside us busted out laughing. To Addi's defense I think she meant she was tearing the puzzle pieces apart. But, well on some days, she hit the nail on the head. We love our little Terror/Tearer...
