Today...

I want to write something clever or interesting or witty about today, but I keep getting confused because it can't possibly be true. Chris isn't going to get a PET scan today. We're not going to the doctor tomorrow to find out whether chemo is working because that's too... something. Except that it is true, and I can't decide which is more surreal: a day when your life changes forever but you woke up expecting normalcy or knowing ahead of time that in 24 hours everything will be different.

Life is not for the faint of heart.

Anchor of Hope


* I've gotten a couple of confused emails, so I think I should clarify.  He is getting his PET scan today.  We'll get the results tomorrow.  I'll post something tomorrow night.  I really appreciate the prayers and concern.
