Clean Scans!

Whew! God is Good!

After a few days of being sick and a mother being worried, Chase was given the great news of "clean scans" once again. AMEN! For the two days prior to his scheduled MRI last Friday, he had been sick as in nauseated, vomiting and even missing classes. That is highly unlike him. He also knows that when he tells his mother he is not well, he better have a plan in tact for getting better. So, he did go and see the UNC Team doctor who advised him to stay at home, drink fluids and rest; it was probably a virus that was going around the team. That was Thursday. Friday morning he went in to the UNC Hospital for his scheduled MRI at 8:00 and at 2:00pm he was finally able to call me and tell me he was leaving and was feeling better. (After all, they had a game that night, a weekend series against Duke.) Seems like they are doing his spine in three sections now with contrast and then the brain. So it is taking much, much longer than it usually does. Then, the brain takes about 45 minutes itself.

When all that was done, he goes over to the clinic to meet with Dr. Gold, his oncologist, and discuss all of life's challenges. :-) Chase shared about what he has been doing with his speaking engagements and how he is supporting the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation. Dr. Gold is quite supportive of all that Chase does and will do what he can for this foundation too.

The weekend series against Duke did not turn out as well as we would have liked. They won Friday night, but lost Saturday and Sunday. I did enjoy seeing Chase all weekend and spending time with my mom who came to the game on Saturday along with Buddy's Mom. Then on Sunday when Jacob and Kailey came along with Buddy's sister Rene.
After the game on Sunday I took us all out to eat to celebrate Jake's receiving the Teaching Fellow's Scholarship for UNC Wilmington. We are all proud that he wants to follow in our footsteps and be a teacher and especially a coach. There are many out there that know that Jake will make both a great teacher and a great coach.

All in all a great weekend, we just wish UNC could have pulled out a few more wins. Oh, and if you look in the picture to the right of me....you will see Coach Roy Williams. He was just another guy in the stands watching the game. Kinda cool, huh!
