We left home this morning just after 7:00. It was pouring down rain. By the time I loaded the van and then unloaded Aubrey at Sandy's, I was soaked. We drove in pouring down rain all the way to Columbus . . . YUCK.
We arrived at Ryan's first appointment, in Dublin, for CT scans just a couple of minutes late - there were about 4 different entrances and we tried 2 before we found the right one! He had to drink two glasses of contrast before he could get the CT scan done. Then we were off to the James to get labs, see the nurse practitioner, Dr. Devine, and get a lumbar puncture. Things actually went really well. I thought Ryan would have to lay for 2 hours after the procedure, but they only made us stay for 1 hour. That was a blessing. That meant we got home at 5:30 instead of 6:30.
The nurse practitioner had called by the time we got home to say that Ryan's CT scan results were back and everything was clean - there was no evidence whatsoever of any lymph nodes being swollen or looking anything but normal - Praise the Lord! We are now just waiting for the results from the lumbar puncture which could be Friday or Monday again. We also don't have to return to Columbus until next Thursday - they are stretching next week's visit a little longer for some reason. Dr. Devine seemed very happy with how Ryan was doing.
