Miami update

Hi everyone, I thought would do a quick little update for Sam.  The last two weeks Sam went thought numerous testing procedures at the University of Chicago Hospitals and then a lot more at the University of Miami Hospitals.  Then at the request of our insurance carrier ‘Cigna” they wanted a few more ultra sounds, CT scans and a PET Scan.  The good news is that Sam passed all of their test. No new problems or metastases  were found anywhere. Sam was then released from the hospital after they were able to get her off a lot of her pain med’s.  We are now renting in suburban Miami, while waiting again, for approval from Cigna.  Once they approve it, Sam will go (right to the top) on the Donors waiting list. We hope to have the organs/graft before Sam needs chemo again. She can probably go a week or two before pain gets to bad. So hopefully it will happen soon. We miss everyone back home, including XRT, the Cubs, da Bears and the Hawks.  At least once the playoffs begin we will be able to follow the Cubs on TV.  Haven’t heard anything about the Sox’s from down here what’s up with them?

Thank you to all of you who are checking, feeding and taking care of our other kids and house.  As you all know we couldn’t be doing all this for Sam without all of you.  Lots of Love ,Chris
