We have left the heat for Kalispell and Cardston. It has been a nice to get away and get refresded to take on what ever awaits us in Las Vegas. I did go to my Doc on Friday. He told me that the tumor could be Testicle cancer or a Leukemia Tumor. Here I was thinking that I knew everything about Leukemia. I guess sometimes it can create tumors, when I asked the Doc about how common this occurs he responded "...not many people make it this far and get tumors." I guess regular chemo doesn't go into the spinal fluid, brain, and testicles and it can harbor some Leukemia cells. When I get back they will know what kind of tumor was growing in my body. At that point there will be a slug of tests. These will include a CAT Scan, Spinal Tap, and two of my most favorite tests, a bone marrow biopsy, and the dreaded MRI. I will selling tickets to the MRI as that machine freaks me out. Short of those tests they will probubly throw some Chemo in there for good measure. So for now all that I can do is wait hence the vacation. I don't think that I could focus on work wondering what is going to happpen to me. It has been super nice to hang out with my family and do lots of things together.
I have been reading the book 1776 over the last few days, it has been a fantastic book. It has been interesting to learn about the Revolutionary War.
Since getting here in Kalispell I have: Donated $20.00 to the Anaconda Court system (my GPS said I was going 85 but the officer begs to differ.), went to see the movie "Journey to the Middle of the Earth" great movie, Golfing, and laying around the pool.
Well that is all that is happening in our life.
Take care,
Casey

CRAP!!! I can't believe it! Of all people you deserve a vacation! Enjoy it and we will keep praying!
Hope your all having fun with out us. Please give Lani a little push into the pool for me.
The bone marrow biopsy sounds very painful. You think that you have been through enough already. Your family is in our prayers.
Does your family still have a cabin at Lake Blaine? Some of my favorite summer memories are of playing in the lake with you guys. That's where I learned to water ski, thanks to Uncle Gary and my dad.
Enjoy your vacation. I'm sure it's hard to get your mind off everything, but do your best. We're all praying for you.
You and your family amaze me daily! You are in my prayers!
$20 bucks for a ticket? You ought to get Aaron to move there. He'll get a $10,000 raise immediately!
I hope everything turns out fine. We're praying for you. BTW, I have a client that owns an upright MRI machine where you just sit in a chair upright. You should see if you can't get a referral over there.
Hi Casey,
Glad to hear you guys are having some down time. Hope your time in Cardston is really enjoyable. How we wish we could get together with you guys, but it looks like we won't be home for at least another week and a half. Keep on plugging.
