Today we asked about the pathology report because it had not been shared with us and was not on the website with other reports. While I went to lunch the doctors came round and delivered good news...that the report was good! I need to find out the details of what that means. But if the doctors say "good" we're accepting that as very good indeed. Another big "whew."
We took a long walk today without the walker, and without any tubes. If you have reason to be at Duke, ask me about places to go and shortcuts. Today Peter wanted to go to the cafeteria, and the food was appealing to him, which is sad because it will be 3 weeks before he can eat any. Following the chemoradiation he didn't want to eat, but needed to, and now he wants to eat, but can't.
I forgot to tell you that yesterday he clowned around with the walker, climbing up on it to ride it down an incline in the hospital hallway. I had to run with the pole.
Today I couldn't get a clear picture of him walking untethered because he wouldn't stop.
Blessings in abundance! Lots of "whews" from Arkansas! How many tubes will Peter take home with him? I know you still have a road ahead of you, and my prayers are that once Peter is home, his mood will improve! You will have tons of responsibility for his care, but I think being home, less trips to Duke, and being on leave, will be blessings for you as far as having TIME! I think when we have time to do things, even difficult things, it does take away the stress. So, we all wish you well, and will continue to pray for all of you. Give Peter a hug for me!

I'm singing, dancing, and wanting to shout the "A" word but can't since it's Lent! Great news! Prayers continue for the next phase of recovery.
