DJ, Steph and Brandon
Nov 6^th, 2008 at 11:34pm

As most of you know, DJ has another rare condition called Moyamoya.

He has been in the care of great Doctors at Stanford, in Ca. from the start. He is having his last check-up there, all this week and of course he's gonna be just fine. (crossing fingers)

Jim and I are driving down to meet up with them this week-end and go sight-seeing and have dinner (in-n-out burgers) and take a tour of the Winchester Mystery house near-by. I get to hold that dear little Brandon and I can't wait....

I will post pics on calouch, & I will provide a link when I get back if anyone is interested in seeing Zip, Mrs. Zip and junior Zip.

I want everyone here to cross their fingers, say a prayer or send good thoughts to the person who has:

allowed us to be who we are, share stories and information, save lives, make life-long friends, fight, argue, make-up, promote a world-wide proliferation of associations for sufferers....and just generally let us bitch and complain about a variety of social/ecomonical/political/religious topics.

Did I Mention I get to snuggle with Brandon? oh yeah I did. sorry. Wink

Thank you all for the well wishes! Things have gone good so far, DJ just left for the hospital, Xenon test (he LOVES this one because of the Xenon gas) and Cerebral Angiogram (this one, not so much fun).

We really won't know anything (all the testing results) until we see Dr. Steinberg on Monday. I will keep you posted.

We're hoping to see that little blonde lady this evening, but most definately tomorrow for The Wincester House and dinner.

We'll post pics as soon as we can!

Thanks again for all the well wishes. We're hoping for a good check-up!!

I pray for all of my CH Family on a daily basis... I know for a fact that Prayer changes thing..

Prayer Intervention from members of this group on my behalf, literally saved my life more than once.

I never forget for one moment that without DJ starting this group, not only would I not have met my CH Family, but I probably would not be here for my birth family.

So for Deej, Mrs. Deej and the Lil' Deejs I have asked God for extra Blessings during this time. I know that everything will be okay... God can and God will.... Those test results will come back, and bring smiles to all of our faces..

Whatever you ask for in Prayer with faith you will receive.

Well, DJ had a 10 hour day today at Stanford. His angio went well, they put a Star Closure (a stitch) in the artery, so he only had to lay there flat, not moving for three hours instead of 6-8!

He was preety doped up but said he remembers the doctors saying his collateral vessels look good. I'm anxious to hear the info from the neurologist on Monday.

Again, thanks for the well wishes. You all have blessed our family by lifting us up in your thoughts.

Linda and Jim made it into town, however we weren't able to get with them tonight, DJ was ready to lay down and crash at 7pm!! (Lightweight) Roll Eyes

lol We will be spending the day tomorrow together. Hugs and kisses from all to all!!

Steph
