I have very sad news to impart. Carey and I have lost the baby. Let me start from the beginning . . . and it’s better (easier), for me, to be in the third person as I write this because my heart is so heavy right now. . . He was in Washington, DC on […]

Short blog. Yesterday I blogged about my 6-month CT/PET scan and the process steps it entails. Today, less than 24-hours later, I have my results. I called my nurse, Val, at about 10:00am and asked that she call me as soon as the scans were in. Around 11:00am she called me back. My result? NORMAL […]
