There was no leaking IV, no bladder exploding. YAY!!! We got in at 7 am and we left about 9 am. Nice and easy. Ahhhh, the joys of radioactive isotopes!
We spoke with Dr. Pearl earlier than expected to learn the results of the PET Scan. His cancer seems to be only in his lung (sigh of relief). There is a 'hot spot' near his heart that is suspicious. We are not sure when we will find out whether it is cancer-related or an infection (as they present the same way on scans).
Tomorrow, we meet with Dr. Michael Collins. He is the cardiothoracic surgeon that performed the thoracotomy with lobectomy three and one-half years ago on Rob (opened him up and removed his right lower lobe).
The kids are doing their best to hang in there. They are having a rough time. Rob and I are plugging along as well. This seems surreal. I am sure that everything will work out for the best.
I am grateful to you; we have had an outpouring of love and support from so many people. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Until tomorrow...

Thanks for keeping us updated. It is hard to be so far away at times like this. Our family had a good fast for you yesterday. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
