Grace, Lydia, Faye, Zoe & Hannah

Karl and Heidi have been working on what we hope will be a series of fun and casual 5K 'races'.  The emphasis will be on group exercise and family fun, kind of a local '5K running club'. It would be helpful to have an idea of how many people plan on joining us so please answer a few quick questions on the poll.  If the weather is the least bit sketchy the morning of the race be sure to check back here on the blog for updates.
 
Faye and I spent Friday at Childrens for a series of 'routine' tests for which we did an exceptional amount of waiting. For example, after waiting 25 minutes to be shown back to a cardio patient room, then waiting another 30 minutes for the echo nurse to show up for the echo which took another 20 minutes, we were told to wait for the practitioner who would be 'with us shortly' to give the EKG.  After waiting a little over an hour I flagged down the first official looking person I could find who discovered that - oh my - we had been forgotten.  Fingers pointed between the echo nurse and the EKG gal while smoke started coming out of my ears. The EKG nurse admonished me that the next time we are scheduled for this series of tests we should only wait '10 minutes or so' before asking if we had been forgotten.  ...more smoke... maybe some flames 'cause I started seeing red.  Faye got me out of there as quickly as she could.

The redeeming factor to the day was that the PFT (Pulmonary Function Test - the test Faye did very poorly on in September) showed 'marked' improvement.  We are now waiting, ahem, for our Oncologist to interpret the results and let us know what 'marked' means.

Thanksgiving has always been meaningful and emotional for us but this year I'll probably bawl my eyes out.  Oh shoot, I've already started.  Cheers to a peaceful Thanksgiving full of blessings for all. ~Lolly
