As I am sure you are all wondering, I thought I'd drop you all a quick note. We still don't know what is going on. I thought for sure we'd know by Friday, but no such luck. They looked at the neck down and everything seems to be okay there. The only thing they haven't given us the results of is the jaw area...the only part that we're worried about!
Then to top it all off, as I was getting ready to go out on the town with my husband for our anniversary, I noticed that Kelby wasn't feeling too hot. She was just miserable, so I had to call off our evening in Seattle. We got her down to sleep for the night and them Gramma Debbie came over to watch her for a couple hours so we could go to a movie...which we really did enjoy. Gramma checked on her once so Kelby new she had been there. The first thing she said in the morning was, "Where's Gramma. She's a really nice lady." Our weekend ended up being pretty miserable because Kelby was so sick. She has two huge blisters on her tongue. If she is awake at all, she is crying. My girl friend's little girl had the same thing earlier last week, so I know it is just a virus. I don't think that she was as miserable as Kelby, so I don't know if Kelby has it worse, or if she is just a worse whiner. I think that the sores are starting to get better today, but she is still miserable. Please pray for her to get better quick.
Hopefully we find out something more today about Kelby's jaw. It is so hard to wait. Thank you to those that write in the guestbook. Just know that it makes a big difference to know that so many people out there care about us and are praying! Keep up the good work and know that the praying makes a big difference. The week before last I was feeling gloomy and full of the sense of impending doom. Last week, even in the the anxious anticipation of the scans and the slow process of waiting for the results, I felt much more peaceful. It can only be explained by saying that I know a lot of people were praying for us last week. God used you all to give me more peace in this difficult time. Thank you all and God bless!

We Have to get Another Scan
Well, it turns out that they missed the jaw on the new scans. We have to go back down and get another scan done, hopefully by Friday. At least they finally told me something. It was a mix up in the orders for the scan. Major bummer. Needless to say, I am very disappointed. I was hoping to hear good news so we could all relax again for a while. It still could be good news...we just have to wait longer for it.
I took Kelby in to her primary care doc today about the sores on her tongue. He thinks that it is a herpes virus. He prescribed Tylenol with Codine, so maybe that will be strong enough to help her. It looks like it might be 7 more days of this.
Please keep praying. Thank you so much!
