Things have threatened to ruin this day, but nothing can ruin it. When Isabella and I got home from Bible Study this morning there was a message to call the Drs. office. With my heart pounding I called to see if they would give me the results since Monte wasn't home. And sure enough they had the biopsy results. I believe her words were, "It's nothing bad, nothing more than you already know, no cancer." The only thing that showed up was a confirmation of the diagnosis of Crohn's Disease. Phew! Talk about a load off of my mind (I say my mind because Monte told me later that he wasn't too worried about it . . . okay, whatever, leave the worrying to the woman :) ) Also, Monte felt GREAT today, yes great!! Day 2 of the steroids and he actually has energy, no pain, and a crazy appetite. I knew he was bad, but I guess I didn't realize just how bad he has been these last months until now that I see him feeling good! The doctor wants him off of the steroids by March, so we'll cross that road when we get to it, but for now, for today, he felt great. So that's how we'll take it, one day at a time.
So besides having a horrendous headache tonight, something really weird happened today. I was washing a load of clothes, when all of the sudden one of our toilets just randomly overflows. Then the other toilet starts bubbling and making all sorts of weird noises. THEN the bathtub and the kitchen sink started filling up with water! Our house started smelling like sewer too. Monte discovered that two vents on the roof were clogged with ice, which after calling the experts (his dad and my dad) we thought was probably the reason. So we spent two hours pouring hot water down the vents, which helped the kitchen sink but nothing else. We could not get a hold of any plumbers until about 5:00 this evening. They worked for two hours. The problem was that our pipes were clogged with tree roots, how crazy is that?! So we spent the majority of our afternoon and evening dealing with plumbing issues, but that's okay because nothing can ruin this day!

Wow! Wow! I totally hear you Angela. To hear the news that "it's not cancer" and to see Monte feeling better, well, those are GREAT things to focus on. And what a good day for Monte to feel better - when he was needed to investigate bubbling toilets. Ah! Hope all that gets under control....
Yayayayay!!! I'm so happy for you both. I hope today is just as great for you guys!
It must have been AWESOME news if even your plumbing issue couldn't take the shine off your good day! I'm so glad you got some good news! And Monte can put on some weight wiht his new appetite.
