Just wanted to say that having some fam here this weekend, was real nice. We just played it mellow and watched lots of football and baseball and had lots of good food. Trying to fatten myself up (already gained 6lbs since surgery!). Pictured here we were eating at the Italian joint down the street- we had a great dinner and even better time. Man, feels so good to get out of the house and get life back to a more normal swing.Chris and Ash left today (I already miss them) and Mom and Mike roll out tomorrow. We spent today cleaning the heck out of the apartment (even washed the dogs) and getting errands done, so that was a HUGE help. Will also really miss them.
Got the PET scan tomorrow, so will know if there's any more cancer in me. Cross the fingers and toes. And eyes.

What a great looking picture of a great looking family!!!! Good job Andy on adding those six pounds....keep packing them on!!
Praying tonight that you will both have exceptional sleep, that you will truly rest in each other's arms and wake up to beautiful sunlight and the promise of better days ahead. I am so very proud of both of you, for your courage, for your ability to stare cancer in the face and and just dare it to steal your joy, for your honesty with each other and with all of us in your family about your fears, your angers, your frustrations and your determination. I think you are two of the strongest people I have ever known and I am grateful for the privilege, Meredith, of being your Mother and Andy, of being your Mother-in-law. You have handled the last two weeks with amazing strength and maturity. Be kind to yourselves and to each other and know that you are loved and supported by a multitude of people....your love for each other is a shining example for all of us!!!!
Praing for an excellent report on that PET Scan tomorrow!!!
We love you,
Mom and Dave
Mom-a quick message to you. . . our pad hasn't been scrubbed since you last scrubbed it, so thanks for your scrubbing too! i love you and your support!
yes, i second that emotion- thanks so much, mrs h, for your cleansing of our pad. Our apt was so super clean when I got back from the hospital, and it was so nice to return to. Thank you so much. We are constantly being spoiled by our family and friends. It is the best.
Fingers, toes, eyes, crossed. I will even braid my hair. Good luck!
You make great PET, You make great PET.
good luck.
Tuesday aint nothin but a surgery and a pet scan for us. pffffffffffft! Bring it on! I aint skeered!
Okay so I am, just a lil'. But you know what my friend? It's all part of the process.
No Cowardly Lions here.
Even when anxiety and fear rear their ugly heads, hope and laughter almost instantly cure them. (The xanax and morphine doesn't hurt either)
You will do great and if you don't, well you already learned that you have a tremendous amount of love and support surrounding you to help you get through that too.
After our intial shocks, we are freakin pros by now excepting bad news.
"Ain't nothin'gonna break our stride. Nobody's gonna slow us down, OH-NO We got to keep on movin'
Ain't nothin' gonna break our stride. We're running and we won't touch ground OH-NO, we got to keep on movin'"
Yes, I just quoted Men at Work. (I think they sang that.) Bet that song is going to be stuck in your head all day, which couldn't hurt!
Hope you get a chance to check out that "Crazy Sexy Cancer" chic. It is airing on TLC tomorrow night 8 &10pm EST. I think it will help your perspective no matter what your news.
I love you, Andy. Just breathe.
I will be under the knife at 12pm your time, so breathe a lil' extra for me too.
***this message was brought to you by the letter G which seems to be missin from the ends of all my words.
Ando- everything's crossed, prayers been said and we've got our Andy Dut bracelets on. Looking forward to a great report on your scan.
Tom, Caressa, Dave and Dan
Many prayers going out for Kristina's surgery today..precision for the surgeon and for Kristina's protection during surgery and rapid recovery

Dave and Susan Higdon
thinking about you today!
love you!
Megan! What a great idea. I'm totally braiding my hair today for the scan-two braids in fact. Love that idea!
Thinking about you Andy, lots of love and powerful "good luck" energy coming your way...I've braided my hair too!
Big Love,
Sara
I was the kid at school who never had her hair brushed much less braided. So, I never learned... but I am crossing my eyes. I just learned how to do that this summer. it gives me a bit of a headache but doesn't matter... I'm gonna do it anyway. Kristina, much love and good thoughts to you today. And Andy and Mere... good luck on that heavy petting. I've got a good feeling on this one. La la love ya!
Indy
Hey Kristina...sending love and good wishes and prayers your way. So glad to hear your surgery went well. Just breathe right along there with Andy. Love to all, Andy's mom
PS...missing you like crazy, Mere and Andy...loved our family weekend.
One more comment from Andy's mom...Mere's mom couldn't have said it better. You are two of the strongest people I know, too---Susan said it just right. We are grateful for the privilege of being your parents. Your love is a truly a shining example for us all.
Good going, Susan!
