Today went good, for what we had to do. We dropped the kids off at my sisters house in the morning, then my dad would take them out to lunch in the afternoon, then my mom would watch them in the late afternoon. The kids, of course, had a blast. Paul and I made it in to the big town pretty early, so we had a light lunch. Then we went to a river in the town. They have a green belt there to walk on, and that's where we went for our first wedding anniversary we celebrated out here. It was a fun and touching time. We then went to the MRI office, filled out some paper work, was told how much we would have to pay today , then we were escorted to a room in the back. These people were very nice, and the place was very pleasant. I had my own waiting room, that had a love seat, a chair and a tv. We were pushed back by a half hour, so we sat and watched some tv together, and just had a pleasant time. It was an Open MRI, which we pushed for. There was other MRI offices we could have gone to, but we wanted the open one. They offered to give Paul some medication to calm him if needed. He decided against it. He did good. He said by the end it was getting hard, but he got through it. We still won't know anything until the doctor calls us. I'm praying that is tomorrow, but it might not be until Monday. So then we stopped by a new Starbucks in town, that had an outdoor cafe. We sat and relaxed and drank our coffee and enjoyed the town. We are tired, and trying not to focus on the waiting part, but we are blessed all went well. I have some pictures to share too.
This is us in the town by the river.
And here is Paul in his garb before the MRI.
Thanks again for all your prayers. I, of course, will update as soon as we know something.
I'm glad you got through this part of it. I know MRIs can be scary. I got to go back with Little One. I can't remember if they knocked him out or not. He's had so many different procedures I can't remember which ones are which. I just remembering going back with him because they were asking if I had any metal on. I will continue to pray for you guys and I am anxious to hear the results. I really hope for your sake, you hear tomorrow.
I was sure hoping you would know something by the end of the day today. I guess you could look at it as an opportunity to develop more patience :D
Glad to hear you were able to get some enjoyment out of the day together. You set such a good example for the rest of us!
I am so glad that you two were able to have a wonderful relaxing day together. I mean really - Starbucks! Does it even get any better? I will be praying for you and Paul as you wait for the results and possible help/intervention from the Dr. God Bless and have a wonderful weekend. Tammy
p.s. I will get an e-mail out soon. I find that these 6 weeks of soccer put me out of touch with others for a while and I can just barely get to the computer! see ya
I am sorry I missed this post, I have been so busy, I did pray for you, because I had read it on my friend's list.
What a lovely spot to stop and reflect.
I am a wife and mother of two. I started this blog to share the things the Lord shows me in my journey as a wife, mother, homeschool mom and His daughter. And in it all to "grow in the grace and knowledge of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."
