i know...

...everyone is patiently waiting to hear how the appt went with the surgeon!!! so are we!!!

it was another frustrating afternoon in the dewalt saga. you will be surprised to find out that the MRI showed a mass in tims arm...I THINK WE ALREADY KNOW THAT...the doctor would like to do a biopsy...THAT IS WHY WE WENT IN THE FIRST PLACE...the ultrasound department has no openings this week...NO SURPRISE THERE...so we wait...AGAIN!!!

we called the oncologist and he cancelled our monday appt. everything is on hold until they can fit us in to biopsy that arm. so we wait...

i am a pretty patient person my nature but even i am getting frustrated this time...not that we are in any great hurry to go down another chemo or radiation road...but the not knowing if it is cancer or not is driving everyone a bit crazy...and a tad bit edgy!!!

on a happier note...did you know that yesterday was PA LEARN TO SKI DAY!!! i took the twins to roundtop ski resort and for $10 they got a ski lift ticket and rentals and a lesson!! they loved it. (tim decided not to go since it was THE COLDEST day of the winter so far...he wouldn't have faired too well out there). it was great...i love that atmosphere...the brisk air and the snowmaking machines blowing snow in your face and the lodge with a fireplace and a starbucks...what more could you ask for!!! well i could ask to win the lottery so that they could go back again...this is not a cheap sport...i don't remember it being quite so expensive when i used to ski (many many moons ago)...but that was probably because MY parents were paying for it.

well...gotta get things moving here in the dewalt house...we will update as so as we know anything.

thanks for checking in.

Very frustrating. Tammy, I would never be that patient. We have to remember that God is in control and He knows what the future holds. Even with doctor's appointments. Have a great weekend. We are praying.

Tammy,

I agree - that is so frustrating. I would be on the phone and tell them they need to get me scheduled. I think that $10.00 learn to ski is just to get you hooked. I am glad the girls enjoyed. I'm with Tim - stay warm. We are praying!
Love, Wendy

We're having serious storms here. The electricity is out all over and people are worried, but powerless (literally & figuratively) to do anything but wait it out.
That puts me in mind of you guys. You've had some very serious storms, but GOD is faithful to bring you through them.
I continue to pray for all of you and am so grateful that I can check this blog. Thanks for your efforts!
If I had to deal with all the delays, I'd be cranky and demanding, so you're a far better witness than this old lady!
Love from Aunt Katie
