Well today we were suppose to make the trip from Cincinnati area to Toledo Ohio and stop by hospital in Toledo once we got back to have Brody provide another urine sample. It was in the upper 40's and raining when we left Cincinnati area but by the time we made it to Lima Ohio (an hour and half from home) the roads were just a sheet of ice. I was hoping we would get much closer to Toledo before hitting the freezing rain and snow that I knew was in Toledo area. Thought maybe it would be just warm enough for most of the trip to avoid the bad roads for majority of the trip. But nope. Oh well, we ended up stopping in Lima and getting a hotel rather than risking the drive. The hotel is really nice. Very clean, friendly staff, and a indoor heated pool. Boys and I went to Walmart very close to hotel and got some swimming suits and then came back and had a great time in the pool. Then we went out to eat at Texas Roadhouse right next to the hotel. Jaden was quite excited about this since that is his favorite restaurant. He loves their rolls and butter, the peanuts, the ribs, and that it's pretty loud in there so I don't have to bother telling him to be quiet over and over again. (Usually my kids are the loudest thing in any restaurant and I am constantly trying to settle them down but not at Texas Roadhouse. They have loud country music that drowns out any noise from my kiddos so I don't have to worry about kids annoying anyone with their loudness). Anyhow we really wanted to get home tonight (we miss Bill) but we made the most of it and just had a good time this evening. Hopefully this weather will settle down soon and we can make it home tomorrow.
Brody has been having more blood in his urine again today. Hopefully we will get to meet with the urologist tomorrow and figure out what is going on. I called the hospital today and spoke with a nurse in the Peds oncology wing and told her we weren't able to make it to hospital today to provide urine sample for them to check for blood but that we are still visually observing blood in the urine. I asked her to speak with our oncologist about going ahead and arranging the consult with the urologist for Tuesday(tomorrow) or Wednesday.
Anyhow, let's hope we get some news soon as to what is causing the blood in urine.
Hope all my friends in Toledo with no power in this cold, icy weather get power again soon.
Time to get some shut-eye.
Praying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you guys had a ball. We are so spoiled about the weather. It dips below 60 and we whine about the "cold snap". We are just a bunch of "pansies" and King Julien would say. Hope the blood in the urine turns out to be something minor. As always thinking of all of you every single day.
