1/3 of the way through Friday

Just a quick update. We arrived at the Radiation Oncologist about an hour early at 8:30am this morning. You just don't know how traffic will be.

At about 9:30-10 Rebekah started her general anesthetic to have her radiation treatment mask made. It is a plastic formed face mask similar to what kids might make with plaster of paris. It is "mesh" in that it has grids cut out of it for breathing, etc. I got a quick picture as we transfered her to the CT Scan just a few minutes ago but can't get it transfered to the computer until tonight.

About 11:15 we carried her from one building to another. They had discontinued the anesthetic and she was about 10% awake. We moved over to the next building and laid her down on the CT Scan table and were able to be there while the connected the anesthetic again and "Sealed" her in with the mask.

In about 20-30 minutes we will do the transfer thing again and move her downstairs to the MRI and start that all over again. Once she comes out of that she will be done for the day and mommy and Rebekah will head towards home and daddy will go meet a client.

While we were waiting down in Radiation Oncology we met up with a client of daddys from several years ago who also has a brain tumor and was not expected to live past 3 months - and that was 1 1/2 years ago. Way to go Maurice!!!!!

Sorry this is so short but please continue to keep us bathed in prayers. This is turning into 3 anesthetics in one day. We have learned a bit more about Rebekah and her tolerance of the drugs however - more on that this evening.
