CT Scan, MRI, and knitting...

9/12
Boy, we have had a busy couple of days! I know that sounds funny coming from two people who "sit in a hospital all day". Yesterday afternoon Jordy had a chest CT scan. He had one when he was diagnosed with cancer.
There were two places in his lungs that the doctors were concerned about.
They are still there, but the radiologist said that they look about the same or less like something to be concerned about. Jordy had a lot of problems with asthma and pneumonia when he was little. The doctor said that this may well have caused the issues in his lungs. It is not uncommon for people in the general population to have places like this in their lungs.
Last night Jordy traveled the back halls of OHSU to have a MRI of his leg.
No surprises. . . he has a tumor in his leg! Some of the swelling, etc.
is less, but other than that they didn't see anything. This is a case of no new news being good news.
Jordy is still waiting for his body to clear the chemo out. He should be able to go to the racetrack on Sunday. Kevin and Kyle will be coming up so that we can all go. Today Jordy had a good visit from Cody the CNA from the oncology clinic. Occasionally Cody sneaks out of the clinic to visit kids. A volunteer came by to take pictures of patients. Cody got in the picture! Should be interesting!
I took a break from hospital life to attend a knitting convention at the Convention Center. It was good to see adults that share my love of yarn!
Now I have to look for a pattern so I can begin knitting. This was a great distraction since I have been missing my college classes, but it is nice to have the time to help Jordy get healthy. Knitting is great to pass time!
