Dr. Wild (the Oncologist) called this morning - the test results from the biopsy (or bobobsy as Aunt Voula says) were not in yet. The military's cancer institute is in Washington D.C. Apparently they're not the fastest, but they are extremely accurate. If not for the 3 day weekend, we would have the test results by now. Oh well.
Dr. Wild was 99% sure that they'll be in tomorrow (which is good, since last time she was 98% sure they'd be in today ... so we have a 1% better chance of them being in tomorrow!). Both our workplaces are being very understanding. Tell you what ... if there's a place to get sick, it's while active-duty military. Well, active-duty while in the U.S. Not so sure about Iraq, Afghanistan, or Burma. But they've been taking great care of us so far.
Question of the day - who is Aunt Voula, and what movie is she from?
Hint #1 - She had a neck lump that was similar to what they thought Christie had at first...
Hint #2 - ... eivom gniddew keerG

It's from My Big Fat Greek Wedding :-) Here's the direct quote:
Aunt Voula: [to Ian's parents] Now, you are family. Okay. All my life, I had a lump at the back of my neck, right here. Always, a lump. Then I started menopause and the lump got bigger from the "hormonees." It started to grow. So I go to the doctor, and he did the bio... the b... the... the bios... the... b... the "bobopsy." Inside the lump he found teeth and a spinal cord. Yes. Inside the lump was my twin.
Hahaha! Thanks for the joke Ryan...it helped to lighten things up in this tense time.
We continue to pray for you both, that you would have peace that surpasses all understanding, for strength and perseverance, for healing, and for a shield of protection to guard you.

Hi. Christie and Ryan.. I'm in NYC today. Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers as today is Wednesday. Hoping you find out something today as I'm sure the waiting is difficult. Praying for you both and for the doctors. Glad everyone is being understanding, and that you are getting good treatment. Sorry things are slow, but better accurate results than fast ones.. xoxo miss you love Meme...
Christie & Ryan = Nothing's harder than waiting! "Be still and know that I am God" Prayers are with you. My gratitude that Ryan and your mom can be with you at this time; that ryan's ?? boss has supported him so; that you have made a church connection ; and mostly that you have kept your sense of humor!! Pop-pop never lost his. Love you Gahgee
