Good news...bad news...

Well, after three weeks of doctor's visits, blood sets and CT scans, the good news is that Mom does not have lung cancer, pneumonia, congestive heart failure or rheumatoid arthritis. The bad news is that they still cannot tell us where the fluid on her right lung is coming from. The pulmonary specialist in Burnet is supposed tomcall me Monday with her thoughts, and her nurse said she would probably want tonschedule wn office visit for Mom next week. We feel like we need to examine other options. Our next step is to take Mom the best pulmonary specialist we can find and get another opinion. Glenda has great contacts and has found one in Austin, although we, including Mom, were willing to go wherever need be. I am thrilled that the specialust that came HIGHLY recommended is in Austin! We are all keeping very close tabs on Mom! And now for some very positive news!! Drum roll please!! Mom and Dad are scheduled to close on their garden home in North Austin on Tuesday, July 10!! Movers are scheduled to be at their hide on Thursday, July 12, and we expect them to spend the night there that night! Now that their initial anxieties are past, both Mom and Dad are looking forward to moving to Austin and being closer to their kids!
