It's biopsy time!

For all of you who prayed for FAST test results - thank you! Your prayers were answered by us receiving the results of Levi's blood test today after just TWO days instead of a week. And, in the efficiency that is MD Anderson, we had a biopsy scheduled by 5 p.m. today for tomorrow morning.

We'll be leaving before dawn to make Levi's appointment, but it is worth it to (1) get to take the kids to their first days of school next week and (2) not wait another week to have the procedure. We'll know more about the timeline tomorrow, but we expect to have the results of the biopsy by Monday. Then the real work can begin!

Pray for our kids, as they just got home about 3 p.m. today and we didn't get to spend much time with them in the chaos that was scheduling this appointment and making travel plans. And now, they've already been pawned off on another grandparent. I know they're ready to be home, and we're ready to spend time with them after a week apart!

While I know kids are resilient, I pray for peace for Nora and Wyatt and that they wouldn't feel many effects of our current storm. We've tried to be as transparent as possible with them about what's going on in an upbeat way and on a kid's level. So far they haven't had many questions, and they don't seem to have any fear. But I know they have no idea how long the road is ahead. Together we'll make it through!

Levi had another 1.5 L of fluid drained off of his lung today, just 2 weeks after the first time. I have a feeling we'll be doing this a few more times before it's all said and done.
