Internet Down

For whatever reason I lost our internet connection early this morning, so I just wanted to update here and let people know why I wasn't emailing them back. (I'm at our very kind neighbor's house to get on-line now.)

I've had limited contact with Shayne today. I do know her pain is being managed- of course this means Shayne is setting his alarm every three hours around the clock to give her pain meds. (He must be beyond exhausted on day #3 of this! Yesterday he said taking care of everything they had to get around and dealing with the emotions of it all was the most challenging and hardest day in his four years of this.)

My new concern, which Shayne mentioned in our two very brief chats today, is that Christi is so very tired. (That can't be anything positive.) With Shayne whispering, while Christi slept in their room at the wonderful Ronald House, we couldn't really talk. I do know they made it to the UPenn Animal Hospital, to her hospital tests and yes, to the Barnes and Noble again today. I don't know if they were able to get any more of the chemos today or not, or when they may be back or anything. I do know I miss them terribly and dearly wish I were with them. (Thanks to the Bowerman's for letting Shayla and I spend time with them tonight to help pass the time!!)

Tomorrow's MIBG scan is scheduled for 8:30 AM then they'll be off to yet another meeting with Dr. Maris. We pray for the blow to be as gentle as possible.

****UPDATED: I just read the blog comments and learned from a vet nurse that Christi was a bubble little girl tending to a puppy with a broken leg at the awesome UPenn Animal Hopsital today!!! (THANKS FOR SHARING!! I hate to call Shayne as I want him to get his rest.) THANK YOU for telling me how happy she was today! It is so hard to be away right now!!!! Thanks!
