Adrienne had a PET scan on Tuesday and we got the results last night. There is no sign of Hodgkin's Disease in the neck, chest, abdomen, or pelvis, thank goodness. However, there is increased uptake in the socket part of the hip. Recently, Adrienne's hip pain has gotten worse, so bad that she wasn't able to go to the last session of her dance class this week. The consensus is that the uptake is not disease-related but probably indicates more avascular necrosis. I will drive down to southern California in two weeks to pick up Adrienne (and her stuff) from school, and she will see the orthopedist the following week. We are tentatively planning on more surgery at the end of July, which will be more invasive than her last surgery.
Adrienne is in a state of flux as she finishes up this semester and prepares for her sophomore year at CMC. Following the rising seniors and juniors, she gets to pick her classes on Friday. She's been trying to figure out her study abroad plans and rethinking her second major. I think she's worn out several erasers with the many changes in class choices. With her good grades, she found that she is a candidate for Phi Beta Kappa if she takes Spanish Lit next semester, so she is definitely going to do that.
Daniel is doing fine following his colonoscopy. Good news there: no sign of colitis. In fact, there was no explanation for the problems he was having so it was probably infectious. He seems to be back to normal now.

Congrats on the internship which sounds challenging and interesting. I'm sorry that the AVN seems to be showing up again. I hope it doesn't have a huge impact on mobility and such.
Thanks for checking in on us. Sometimes making that round of CB sites is a little too harrowing for me, but I do always like to follow up with you all, and live a little vicariously too, I admit. I loved college life.
