It was a whacky day

Tommy just looked over at me tonight with Teddy in his lap and said "Dad, today was a whacky day huh". I love you Tommy.

Deb's MRI went fine in Gwinnett today and uneventful until I got a call from Tommy's cell phone while I was waiting for them to finish up with Deb's MRI. It was one of Tommy's friends who told me that Tommy just passed out and hit his head on the pavement while riding bikes in our adjoining neighborhood. Because Tommy has epilepsy, my immediate thought was he was having a seizure which he is taking medicine to prevent. Of course, it was a blazing 95 degrees and middle of day when this all happened so I was trying to apply common sense. Was able to talk to an adult from Tommy's phone that happened to be outside the Unity church nearby and heard Tommy's friends calling for help. Bless you Dave and find you this Sunday to express our gratitude. He was a big help and even drove Tommy home where his big brother Taylor was standing by. Since this is public, I will keep names anonymous but was very proud of Tommy's friends on how well they handled everything. You know who you are and thank you buddies. Of course you too Tay for taking care of your little bro till we got home! I love you Tay.

Mom handled the news surprisingly well went she came out from her MRI. We left Gwinnett and headed home to take Tommy to Town Park for check up. Fortunately, Tommy was shaken up but is just fine except for his new goose egg on his head. Dr. Adan agreed that this was most likely due to the heat and not seizure related based on the symptons.

Deb's tests have been submitted to Oncologist and yeah that there are no more tests for rest of this week. You get to relax baby. Deb is resting and doing much much better with the new pain reliever patch. We are not expecting to hear any more news until after Deb's final nuclear medicine test next Monday/Tuesday.

Thank you for wonderful dinner Barb and Randy. We enjoyed your company tonight!

Paul and Ingrid, Deb got your great book and is so perfect for her and very inspiring. Thank you!

Thanks to all for your cards and KTS!

Rod and Deb
