Good Day, Big Trip

I'm glad to report that Susan had an excellent day yesterday--the best she's felt in a while. We went grocery shopping in the morning--highlighted by the really fast electric carts at our local Tom Thumb store which she handled adroitly, except for taking out a customer behind her in the checkout line when she did a bit of backing up. ("They shouldn't gotten so close to me anyway.") After a good afternoon's rest while I did the local off road bike trail, she was up for a great dinner and visit with Mark, Angie, Susanna and Lydia at their house. The girls were in fine form, with Susanna's ever increasing vocabulary and cute expressions, and Lydia's new fondness for playing the "throw me upside down" game with Pop-pop. This morning she's struggling a bit with nausea again: the fruit smoothie I made her didn't sit too well. Now we're packing for our long 3-day trip to MDA. We will appreciate your prayers again for the CT scan tomorrow. Susan really hates to take that barium drink before the scan, and this will tend to be a low point for her. I'll update this page as we get more information, particularly on Thursday after the doctor visit.

PS: I attempted to post this page this morning, but Blogger was down. We arrived safely in Houston and had a nice dinner out at Pappa's Seafood House. I highly recommend it to all travelers to Houston. More later....
