Reprieve or Delay ?

Monday morning was spent at radiation oncology doing the CT planning for Kate's upcoming radiation therapy (RT). This time also involved making a hard mesh-like mask that is used during the treatment. Kate lays face down and the mask is put over the back of her head and bolted to the table. The purpose of the mask is two-fold: it prevents movement of Kate's head and it is strategically marked with stickers that help with alignment for radiation treatment.
The planning complete we returned home, anticipating beginning RT Wednesday of this week. However, Monday afternoon we received a phone call tell us they needed to repeat the CT planning scan, as Kate's spine is so long that they didn't get enough overlap for the measurements necessary for her treatment. We returned Wednesday morning and repeated the CT planning again. They told it would probably be Monday now, until we could begin. So, I guess it's all in how you look at it... a reprieve or delay. We prefer to see it as a reprieve from the daily drives to Pittsburgh and more than that a few more days of feeling good and enjoying normalcy. We know that God's timing is perfect and know that his timing also includes delays. Thank you for continuing to wait on the Lord with us and for carrying us daily in your prayers.

Continuing by grace,
Elaine

More on waiting.....Many of you have been asking about the posting of the prom pictures...computer technicalities have been an issue. We will post them as soon as feasibly possible.
