Our schedule today:ll:30 a.m. Hilton Bld - Blood tests12:05 p.m. Gonda Bld - CT Scan3:00 p.m. Mayo Bld - Chest x-rayTues, Oct 7, 20088:15 a.m. Gonda Bld - Oncology Evaluation11:00 a.m. Charlton Bld -Radiation Consultation1:45 p.m. Mayo Bld - Dr Kenrick, surgeonLooks like we can get to all the buildings in the subway so we don't have to go outside if the weather isn't nice. I did get a wheelchair from the hotel as the Hilton building is quite a ways and Robert wears out easily so I can just use it.Hoping to see the underground mall.Do you think I will be allowed to do any shopping????? Just joking, don't have any extra cash anyway! ha! This VACATION has become a world class adventure.....If we get out of appts in decent time tomorrow, we will maybe try to get down the road a little ways.It is almost 800 miles home! Pray for good weather as we travel. It is stressful enough without the wind and rain. Lots of wind farms up this way.I found this computer across the road in the Methodist hospital. Sure is more handy than going to the Grand Kahler.When we come up for radiation, we will maybe stay at the Hope Lodge.It is a place like the Ronald McDonald house for cancer people.Maybe this afternoon we can check it out. Looks like a nice place.We know from experience how nice a place like that can be. When Robbie had his broken neck, the Ronald Mc house was a lifesaver. That is always our choice of charity donations.....Wishing everyone a good Monday.Hope the stock market isn't to bad today.Love and prayers, Rox Posted by Roxie to Robert Berning at October 6, 2008 8:42 AM

Dear Robert & Roxie
Glad to hear you made it safe and sound. Went to Syracuse for CC Sat. Saw the wind towers being off loaded by the rail road down there, just waiting for trucks to haul them up to your farms. Paige won her race Yeah!. Hope appts go as planned and the trip is good coming home. Karla did not have good news Friday after I talked to you will update you when you get home. Prayers all around today.
Love Steve & Jeanie

Good morning, sounds like you have quite a heavy schedule today. We continue to pray for you every day and will be glad when you are home again. Renelle is back at work and doing physical therapy and hiking mountains again. Now that Kaleigh has her degree, she is looking for a better job with more benefits. Nothing exciting going on in Evergreen. I am being house frau today and doing some cleaning.....a never ending job. Hope the heavy schedule doesn't wear you two out but I bet you will be ready for bed this evening.
Love & Many Prayers, Relda & ML

Roxie & Robert,
Good to hear you made it safe & sound. Robert, hope you breeze thru those tests and all comes out for the best. Roxie, enjoy your book--it's great--and forget the bills till another day! They don't go away LOL. Anyway, sending prayers your way and wishing you both strength and calm. Hugs to you. Carol

What a place!!!! I hope you never have to experience it but if you do it is something else. Tunnels everywhere to walk to the different buildings. Thank goodness because it is raining out and the temps cool.
Have to be back at the blood draw tomorrow morning at 7:05 because they are doing a research on him and it required fasting from midnight on. The other blood work was only fasting for two hours before so they will do it all tomorrow. Oh well, we will get it done.
We are waiting right at the moment for the CT scann.
If you ever think you have problems, just spend a few days up here and you will see how really lucky you are......... Always someone in worse shape than yourself. Count your blessings!!!
Jeanne, please tell Karla she is in our thoughts and prayers and that I did get her msg on the phone before we left. Makes you wonder if our area has something to be aware of when it comes to cancer??????
Glad the towers will be making their way towards Marienthal. Maybe that will give Robert something to watch and occupy his time when I go back to work and harvest is going on. Can't keep him out of his pickup...... Too much to check on!
Will keep you all posted.
Love and prayers,
Roxie
