SCANS

Hutton has a PET-CT scan tomorrow (Monday).  I will never forget after one of her scans we were inpatient and I asked her doctor when we would have the results, because I was so anxious about them. He said “You will always be anxious for the results of scans, that will never change.”  He was absolutely right and we have always appreciated his upfront honesty. 

We are always anxious about the results of her scans. We are always praying that the scan will show  she is cancer free. BUT we don’t know what the scan will show. We don’t know what our life will look like after the scan and that is SO SCARY. Will it be clear and she will be able to get back to being a kid? Will is show the chemo and everything else we are doing is working, and she will be able to continue on her every other week protocol allowing her to continue to do more? Will it show something we don’t like, and she has to go back to inpatient treatments? We never know, and it is hard. 

It’s hard to plan out our life “after scan”. We try to and we try to be hopeful, but truthfully we just don’t know. 

Hutton is doing so good right now and it feels like we are on an upswing, so we are just praying that the scan shows that the chemo is working and that the tumor is shrinking or gone completely! 

Y’all have shown our family so much support and love, we appreciate every bit of it. And we continue to ask for your prayers, especially during the week of her scans. Not just that they show the best results possible, but also for Gods peace and comfort while we await the results. Thank you 🩵
