Thursday Kyla and Jed arrived back from San Francisco and a scan/appointment. She was at our house for Easter with all of our company when she received a call from Dr. Chang that afternoon with some dreaded news. The medical team went over her scans and determined that it looks like there is residual tumor present. The recommendation is that she should have a biopsy and then surgery in San Francisco the week of April 15th. If this is indeed active tumor, after removal they will then inject a medication directly in the tumor bed for two days to hopefully kill any remaining cells. She meets with Dr. Kokkino (her neurosurgeon in Eugene) on Wednesday, the 3rd to go over the San Francisco scans and report and more hopefully will be known then. We will update as soon as we find out more firm plans. Kyla is doing good after the initial disappointment and is keeping her attitude positive.
Now for some brighter news. Ralph, Loretta, Shalon and Schelly arrived for a visit on Thursday afternoon and stayed with Dave and Vonda for the Easter weekend. We had a nice spaghetti dinner in the evening and got to catch up a little. Shalon is growing into a good-looking young man and Schelly is getting cuter every day. Kristi, Pat, Jordie and Addie also arrived late Thursday night and stayed with Barb and Rick. Friday Kristi, Pat and the little ones came out to color Easter eggs with Kyla, Jed and Emma. Ralph took charge around the place picking up wind blown branches and adding to Dave's pile for burning. He also fixed the slider for the sliding glass door in the family room and probably a whole bunch of other things around here that I will stumble upon later (after telling him to slow down and relax). Maybe Ralph would like to come live with us and be our pool boy! heh! heh! Kristi and Pat went in to a lovely dinner that Barb fixed for them.
Saturday found Dave, Jed, Ralph and Shalon going bottom fishing on a charter out of Depot Bay. They had to leave at 3:30 am (which I think you can imagine Dave stumbling out at that time). However, Ralph probably didn't sleep a wink! They had a good day and caught their limit...even Jed and Shalon who were sick for a bit of the time. While the guys were fishing, Barb, Rick, Jeremy, Kamisha, Pat, Kristi and the little ones joined Kyla and Emma at Dave and Vonda's for an early Easter brunch. Everyone brought great food and we had an egg hunt for the little ones. Emma and Jordan found every last one! It was a lovely day and the guys joined us later that afternoon. We also found out some exciting news.....another new baby will be joining the Flanagan family. Congratulations Kristi, Pat, Jordie and Addie!
Sunday morning everyone left early to return to Baker City. We loved having everyone and thank you to everyone for making our weekend bright. We love you. We then had Gran and Grandad Evans out for Easter dinner (fresh Cod) and had a nice visit with them. A great weekend. Look for pictures to be posted soon.
