In two hours the girls will start drinking (trying to drink) the "barium smoothie" (yum?!). I wish I could do it for them. Although I know I'd never be able to keep it down so I guess that wouldn't help.
The thought of sitting in a waiting room now makes me very nauseous. The last wait didn't go so well.
I just hope I don't hyperventilate and embarrass them. I'm making no promises.
On a side note (because i know you just don't have enough to pray about) Jim's mom will be having heart surgery in a couple of weeks --- totally unrelated to him. She's needed a valve replaced for years and now it's no longer a choice. So I guess I'll be going to Oklahoma in a couple of weeks and sitting in another waiting room, trying not to hyperventilate.
It feels like God hates me.

Oh sweetie! I wish I was there so I could go with you and we could hyperventilate together. I so don't want you going through this alone and yet I know you will have people with you, it just won't be me. I hate that we live in different states. There should be a rule that what ever state you are born in is the state you have to live in. Yeah I know what ever! Just know that I am praying for you all and I love and miss you all. I chated with Lauren last night and we talked about today. You have such wonderful children. Well I say children, I guess when you are 20 you are not longer a child per say. Any way...I am rambleing again so I will stop here and say I love you and will call you later to see how everything went. Big hugs and kisses from Indiana! I hope you can feel the love this far away!
I am thinking of you totally today and of the girls. This has to be so hard for them and you to do but definately the right thing to do. When you go to Oklahoma for your waiting room sit let me know when and where and I intend to be there. Today you have your Houston friends to support you, that day you will have an Oklahoma friend. See, you are loved and cared about no matter where you go!

You are right drinking that barium smoothie is no fun. But it is not as bad as you think. Tell the girls if they have to go through any security to have a letter from the Dr. stating why their rads are so high. It happen to a friend of mine in New York. The whole bit search, to the back room, the bomb squad. They called her Dr. in Houston to vertify that she had the test. Of course her Dr. name was Mohan Jacobs. She just put her head down while saying the name. So funny, searching a 72 year old woman. I hope this put a smile on you face for just an instant. Still thinking of you & your family.

Good morning my darling daughter. I hope the waiting room wait is short, quick and less anxiety prone than you think. How long will it take to get the results back? We'll be praying for a good outcome of the tests for all 6. I'm glad to see you won't be in the waiting room by yourself in Oklahoma. There is strength in numbers. Again, take care of yourself (broken record, here) and I will see you in 1 week. I love you dearly. But, of course, no more than I love my other two ;).
Janine: Just wanted to tell you that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I know this week has been a difficult one. Thinking of you - Eileen Gordon
I’m praying for you with the tests today. God LOVES you…God doesn’t hate you. He doesn’t hate anyone, God IS love. The world is not God’s domain, and we will all suffer while here on earth. I heard something on KSBJ yesterday about how we can not rely on how we *feel* about God, but we have to know in our heart and soul no matter the circumstance, no matter the struggle, nothing can keep us from Gods love. God loves you!!!!
This is one of my favorite bible passages. Cling to it:
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38
I may be way off track here, but if we all had to stay in the state we were born in, wouldn't that put J in Oregon and D in Oklahoma? How would that help??? Hee Hee!! I'm such a pain!!!
