Hello, Family and Friends and Fans of the Bigelow family! Happy September!!
Here is a photograph of DJ climbing a tree in the Arroyo Seco campground;
what do you guess is the reason for him having done so? :-)
Well, the kidlets have returned to school and we are settling into a fall-ish routine here in our home. DJ is working hard for the City of Paso Robles, as well as coaching girls' volleyball at Paso Robles High School; and Alexandra Bigelow is diligent and studious in the 8th grade, enjoying playing volleyball for Flamson Middle School; and Brooke Bigelow is very much enjoying the 5th grade at Georgia Brown Elementary School, and how happy and grateful I am that she is faithful to pack a lunch and walk the dog every day before school; and 1st-grader Caedmon is doing fantastically well in school and has recently discovered and fallen in love with "Legos". We are blessed and sustained!
Regarding DJ's health, I hereby report that he is healthy and strong! Earlier this week, we visited with our local oncologist; the doctor reviewed DJ's labwork and pathology report and declared that DJ looks good. Dr. So-and-So listened to DJ's heart and lungs, and declared that DJ sounds good. He asked how DJ is feeling, and DJ declared that he feels good. So, it's all good! :-) "When would you like to re-scan?", DJ was asked; and he responded that he prefers to wait for a longer period of time rather than to scan sooner. Therefore, he is scheduled for another CT scan in January of 2012 in order to continue monitoring the very small, very slow-growing nodule that has been detected on his lung. In other words, it's all good!! :-) :-)
(I did not obtain proper permission from this particular healthcare professional to post his photographic image on the internet, and I am presuming upon his rights to privacy :-). You may notice that I have intentionally not mentioned him by name, if perhaps that will help to protect his right to privacy - if he cares.)
I inquired of the doctor whether or not the pathology results indicate that DJ eats too many donuts, and Dr. So-and-So is sure that that is not the case - much to DJ's delight. A 5-minute conversation then ensued proclaiming the praises of the SLO Donut Company, DJ's favorite donut shop in the state of California. (Can't you guess that by the time we visited the oncologist, we had already visited the donut shop?! :-)
And there you have it! "It's all good!".
Thank you for caring for and loving and supporting and inquiring after and praying for us. We love and appreciate you!
The end, for now, with love and affection - xoxoxoxoxoxo
