The time has come to start searching through the lists of research projects! We've taken enough time off. We got Bill's records from Texas and now I'm going through them and making some notes on diagnosis, LVEF, tests results...things like that. I don't understand half of the stuff, but I need something to compare to the inclusion/exclusion criteria of the studies to know if it is worthwhile to pursue a particular study.

I'll try to do better writing here, also. If there aren't any new posts, it just means that there's no new news and I don't think you want to read about what we had for dinner or what the weather is.

Since the big let-down from Houston, we've taken some time off to regroup and refuel. Spent a very relaxing week at Pickwick Landing State Park in Tennessee on Pickwick Lake and the Tennessee River. I've concluded that I need to live by the water, not to swim or boat or fish, but to just sit and watch the water. Mornings on the balcony with my coffee were very peaceful, until the swimming pool opened!

We've started searching for another research program. There are so many to read through and decipher all of the medical terms! Bill contacted Houston to see if they would send a copy of all the tests to him that were done. Don't know if they will or not.

That's where we stand now. We're not giving up unless God leads us in another direction. That may have been the plan all along, we're just to blind to see it right now!
