day 2: "I'm not crazy, my mom had me tested!"

"I'm not crazy, my mom had me tested!"

I was woken up today with a call from C, Dr. W's PA, the MRI results were in and I indeed have a brain (my dad still isn't convinced, he wants a second opinion!) ;) More importantly the scan was clear! What a great way to wake up! The rest of the day was free from all the medical stresses. While we're still waiting for calls to schedule more tests we took our bit of good news and ran with it! Today we were carefree tourists. The weather was beautiful so we took advantage of it and spent the afternoon at the Houston Zoo. It turns out this city has more to offer than the drab landscape and sterile medical buildings we first associated it with. We look forward to exploring more of these gems hidden within the city!

Tomorrow team Hawes is back to work! We want to nail down the schedule for this bronch (the last test before we decide our course if treatment). Calls will need to be made and gentle pressure may have to he applied, but it's all in a days work! After that, who knows?! The Container Store has been calling my name!

"When life knocks you down, roll over and look at the stars."- thanks for the quote Jenni! Today I was able to do a lot of looking at the stars and it felt great!
