Pet scan this week!

Cheering on the Nationals!
Andrew and Evan are spending 24 hours in DC together.  They've seen the Nationals beat the Marlins, eaten pizza, and will visit the Spy Museum this morning.  We've done this with all the kids as they become "tweens", spent some one-on-one time with them doing things they love.
I'm thankful that Andrew is so intentional about spending time with his family!  But it does mean that this week is especially crazy busy for him. The long-awaited pet scan is this Thursday, August 9th.  Andrew will have a morning scan and the wait to see the doctor in the afternoon.  (Why can't these two appointments be closer together??) We're not expecting results from the pet scan.  This consultation is for Andrew to talk over all of the consequences of the bone marrow donor choice.  Since Andrew is participating in a trial that is looking at pretty innovative stuff, we want to have all the data we can before moving forward.
Please pray for Andrew as he meets with the doctor (I cannot be there).  We are also praying for clear pet scan results that show the cancer has been beaten back, has not spread, and that Andrew will not need more chemo this summer.
