The Results Show


We have the results from Mick's tests.  He does NOT have cancer, but he does have Emphysema and calcification on his lung.  So we will see the pulmonologist on Wednesday next week to hear what type of treatment Mick will have.  My guess is a nebulizer, and/or B-Pap or C-Pap for night-time. And the doctor could give him some Spiriva or other med.  Plus, since he must now stop smoking, the doctor will work with him to design the right program for Mick.  It's a great new beginning to get Mick healthy again.

We have much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving and although we really don't do anything different on this day (since we don't have family or friends here to celebrate with), we will have a quiet day of reflection and give thanks for all the prayers of our prayer warriors, a warm home to share and a better outlook for the coming year.  Hopefully Mick will be called back to work next week and if not, then we will deal with that as well.

Happy Thanksgiving to all our family and friends in the US.  And for our UK/Ireland friends and family - hope you have good shovels.  And no, we didn't send you the nasty weather this time!!
