Coffee? Tea? Serenity?

Today is day 10 in the hospital.  Many, many tests have been done.  All of them normal, or nearly normal.  Bone marrow was taken yesterday to test for Multiple Myeloma.  The family physician feels rather strongly that this is what the final diagnosis will be, but the results of the marrow tests are not yet in.  His kidneys are not functioning at 100%; somewhere near 20% function is what they say.  There is a possibility that he could be discharged today.  This morning he is being prepped for an "all over body scan".  That is the way that my mother-in-law explained it. 

The journey ahead is filled with uncertainty.  The final test results will determine that.  They are expected within the next couple of days.

My eyes and ears know its real.  As I read the words I type, it makes no sense.  My soul says wait until the final period is written in that diagnosis.  So many things have happened in the past two months.  Some of which indicate that the enlarged prostate causing urine obstruction for many, many years may well be the cause of the poor kidney function.  Elevated calcium levels caused the concern and mention of myeloma. 

Praying.

Waiting.

Hoping.
