Shawn's doctor has been extremely busy

He laid down the law for the supervisor of the lab responsible for the blood and urine tests this weekend. When Shawn picked up the collection containers, the supervisor made it clear that the message was heard, loud and clear. I have a feeling this is probably the first time the lab surpervisor has ever gotten this much of a pep talk on collection protocol. Given the importance and expense of these "exotic" tests, Shawn was told to make sure the urine samples are always refrigerated, which means that he will miss teaching Hebrew school and the Michigan State basketball game. Something tells me Shawn will make up for lost time next year with all the sports and social activities he missed this year.

The key word was OPTIMISM. As with his email to us, he told Shawn he strongly believes that surgical removal of the tumor will be successful in getting Shawn back to health. His optimism is very welcome news.
