Clear Sailing, but with follow-ups!

Received the "All Clear" from the Docs: NO RADIATION --a decision from the Oncologist, the Radiologist and the Surgeon.  There are no signs of lesions in any test as of now.  I still have my Port implant in my chest, and every month I have to have it maintained with a flush.  Every few months, I will need a CT scan to check for new lesion starts (cancer)....

Overjoyed I am (Yoda-speak), so super glad to get stronger every day.  Now, Summer will be enjoyed, and there is so much to do!

Our big event on Wednesday, June 3, 2009 was Dyll's first bee sting... Gpa is trying to block the hive using foam insulation.  Today, Friday, the wasps are swarming still -- unfortunately the vespids are using a space that is in the roof of our front door porch.  Mike, the entomologist, gave us the idea that we can get rid of the nest without pesticides, which will be great.  We will find out how long the vespids will 'fly around' until they go somewhere else....

Poor little guy, Dyll really screamed when he got attacked.  We did not find a stinger, and am starting to wonder if the vespid actually bit him.  The wound in Dyll's cheek was exactly like the wound his Mom got on her arm when she was a little girl.... strangely enough, the location just near the front door was almost the same in both cases.  I told R to stay very quiet and still, so the bug would just decide to go away.  Instead, it started to bite a little meal out of her arm... talk about horrifying!!!   The wounds looked exactly alike, on both Dyll and R.  The swelling was very slight in both cases, also.

Will sign off now, with more news to follow...

Love to all, C.
