When I opened our front door this morning, I heard chirping birds!!! Wahoo! The weekend weather was amazing here--50s on Saturday, 60s yesterday. The snow piles are about gone (the fact that there were even snow piles in STL indicates how atypical this winter has been). Mike's parents are coming for a couple days and Andrew has big plans for all that they will do tomorrow, including a hike and the zoo. Maybe not time for both, but I'm sure an outside adventure will be in order.
I hope you all are seeing signs of warmer weather, too!
Love,
Heather

Quick trip to STL
Hi family!
Tonight after Steve gets done at work, we are making a run to St Louis for some further tests at Barnes Jewish Hospital. I start the day with a CT/myelogram. I had gotten conflicting instructions, so I called and talked to the dept sect'y. She was very helpful, and gave me instructions on where to find their dept. She also gave me their phone number- if I have further questions.
So first is the CT/myelogram, next is additional x-rays that Dr. Zebella wants, apparently some additional flexibility shots. I will drop off the nuclear cardiolyte scan that I had here at IMMC last week to Kelli Jo, Dr. Zebella's nurse.
At 2:00, I have an appt with an Endocrinologist, Dr. Ostlund. He will then be available to function as my Internal Med Dr, while I'm in the hosp, and everyone can relax about the Hydrocortisone that I take daily. Dr. Ostlund can manage the steroid dosage while I'm in the hosp.
When we get done after Dr Ostlund's office, we will say good bye to Heather and Andrew, and head back home.
I'll let you know when or if we find out anything new!!
Love you all,
Cheryl
