Since my last post, it's been another fun time at Loma Linda. The fun just doesn't end!
Wednesday's treatment was completed on schedule but Thursday's was quite another story. In brief, gantry 1 was down (again) all day. We hung around the hospital for a while but came back to the hotel in mid-afternoon, resigned to the fact that we were going to lose a second day. However, Mark, the second shift tech, who has come through for Paul before, called at 9:30 PM asking if Paul still wanted to come over for a treatment. What a guy! Paul's answer was "I can be there in 20 minutes". So, off we went! Treatment # 38 was completed by 10:30 PM. Another patient, whose last day was Thursday, was ahead of Paul. Treatment #39 was completed, on time, at 9:00 AM today.
That leaves us with three treatments to go. Monday is a holiday so there are no treatments. If we don't lose any more days, we will be out of here on Thursday May 31. If we lose one day, D(eparture) day will be Friday June 1. I don't want to think about it but if we lose more than one day, D day will be pushed back to the week of June 4.
Thanks to those of you who have been "putting in a good word" with the Man upstairs!

Things sound exciting for the two of you. So close to the end, and still...
Do have a wonderful holiday week-end and on to the end.
Jerry and I will be watching to see how it turns out. We are hoping and praying for the 31st to end this part of your journey.
You have both done so well through it all, have made a lot of friends, had some fantastic experiences and events, and, I am sure, will go home much richer for all of this.
Best of luck in the coming days. We will be looking in to hear it all.
