Baseline CT finally scheduled.
After 17 days of phone calls we finally have a CT scheduled for Thursday morning the 26th. This will be done at MUSC. Which is why it took so long to get anywhere, 2 hospitals had to coordinate to get the scan done.
This will be the first step in moving forward with the clinical study. After the CT results are sent to Duke, we will have to go up there to get the EKG and Blood work. After all that is done the results are sent in to Novartis and we find out if we get approved to be in the study.
Then I would go back up to Duke again if we get approved and actually get the medicine and start treatment.
So that is the state of things right now. The CT scan has been the bottleneck. After that is done things should start to roll.
Have a good day.

Cliff-hanger moments
This reminded me of you..
April 25, 2007
By William E. Richardson
“Surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:20,
NIV).
The cliff-hanger is a common storytelling device. It creates interest at the
end of chapters in novels to make you want to keep reading. It’s used at the
end of some TV dramas so you¹ll be sure to tune in next week. Before TV
caught on, the I-want-to-know-what¹s-next idea proved successful in
serialized movies and radio programs.
However, cliff-hangers aren’t always entertaining, especially when they
occur in our daily lives. An event erupts without warning at school or at
work. Or your cliff-hanger comes after reading a letter, talking on the
phone, or visiting the doctor¹s office.
Suddenly, you feel like your feet are dangling in mid-air and you’re
clinging to the root of a tree growing out the side of a cliff. A giant
question mark presses down on you, like a weight on your shoulders. You
whisper a prayer and wonder what will happen next.
In those cliff-hanger moments, the easiest reaction is panic. It’s also the
worst. Panic clouds your thinking. Panic raises a wall between you and your
best decision-making. But there¹s hope.
It’s possible to get a foothold in the cliff. In that instant, and
thereafter, dwelling on God’s presence is your answer. He promised to be
with you no matter what. God is with you at that very moment as much as He
was one minute before the surprise pushed you off the cliff.
The apostle Paul faced plenty of cliff-hanger moments. Reflecting on those
scariest unexpected times, he could say, “I am persuaded that” He then
rattled off a list of extreme situations he’d faced. He concluded that
nothing will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ
Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:39). Nothing! God is with us.
To be that persuaded in your cliff-hanger moments is your lifeline for
survival. You may still not know what will happen next, but God will always
be bigger than your problem. What’s unknown to you is never unknown to Him.
He’s ready to help you have Paul-like faith.
Like the elderly woman living in London during World War II. Someone asked
her how she could remain so calm night after night when the Germans kept
bombing the capital of England.
She answered, “Every night, I say my prayers and then I remember how the
parson told us God is always watching; so I go to sleep. After all, there’s
no need for both of us to stay awake.”
Are you resting like that, in the presence of God’s love? Whether finding
your footing on solid ground or still hanging, wondering, are you secure in
knowing that God is with you? That He’s both aware of your situation and
attentive to your need?
It’s OK to ask, “What will happen next?” It¹s better to pray, “God, I¹m
ready to trust You no matter what happens next because You’re always with
me.”

Just letting you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
