The trip to Miami was successful any way you look at it. Adrienne went through an extensive battery of tests with the cardiologist and we got only good news. Her heart and lungs have some deficits, but these are small and completely expected for someone treated at age 9 for Hodgkin's. She should continue with the Enalapril to make sure her heart is good for the long term and can start a regular exercise regimen. Her symptoms are likely due to other chemo and radiation side effects so we'll continue to keep an eye on them.
We had some nice R&R in Miami despite lots of rainy weather, and had a great time with Bekah. Add to that, Chris from the Hodgkin's forum came to visit us and we had a lovely time at dinner. He is only a few months out from transplant but he looks fantastic, as does Bekah, of course.

Always thrilled to hear when you and Adrienne get good news from a doctor. What a thrill for you to meet both Bekah and Chris : ) Check out the HL forum for our pics from RFL this weekend....Bob/Linda/Jenny and Brian (Califguy) walked laps with CHEMO AMIGOS. It was great to spend some time with Brian...we'll be getting together again soon since he won a VERY NICE raffle basket (laptop, Ipod shuffle, wireless router, etc..including lots of business cards with free stuff from businesses in MY valley that he can't use...and I can).
((HUGS))
