96lbs
MRI procedure went well…they treat us so nice in there. A nurse (victoria, another one of Misty’s regular nurses) tracked down the nurse practioner got her to sign some papers for me (that I had forgotten), then hand delivered them all the way across the hospital to us. Then I realize that the technicians (jamie and nick) saw the schedule (we were scheduled for 7pm) and made the office manager push Misty up earlier so the nursing staff would be on hand to access her chest port (they need an IV put in to administer the contrast and if the port can’t be accessed they have to do a regular IV…which doesn’t work so well with her chemo veins. Only the day nurses are specialized to access the ports). Anyway, it went well. Will probably call the doctor tomorrow or the next day to discuss the results.
She got excited a bit today when she curled her fingers like she did a few days ago. So that’s good. And while I had a terrible time getting anything in her for dinner (everything I tried made her sick – even orange juice – she ended up eating carrot sticks and applesauce), she still weighed in at 96lbs and has for the last few days.

I’m glad to know that the chemo went well. Can’t wait to hear the results on the other. It’s good that Misty isn’t losing weight anyway. Major prayers are out to you and the family for great results for later today or tomorrow. Many prayers from everywhere. Love all of you.
God Bless and may God keep healing Misty.

Hi Darren, John and I saw your little family at Ann and Scott’s house on Sunday and I played with Olivia in the kitchen by the refrigerator where she was putting magnetic numbers and letters on the door. She is precious and has a personality all her own, which is a blessing for your both in this difficult time. We are praying for you and read your report every morning. I thought Misty looked good and I even got a little smile out of her when I said hello. You are unbelievably good in this very difficult situation. God will heal Misty. We know he will.

Darren, I am continuing, like so many others, to hold you all up in prayer. It is so wonderful to hear good and hopeful news bout Misty. What a comfort to know her Savior is there with her all the time. I know He is close to her. I pray for peace and healing for you both and a hedge of protection around that sweet little girl. Through all these adversities, she is truly growing up in a loving home. Filled with prayer and hope and the sweet Spirit of God. Love to you, Dawn
