In Calgary for a few days

Just a quick note to say we're now in Calgary. We went to the Alan Blair Cancer Clinic this morning to check Tom's counts - all was well, so he was cleared for travel. Dr. Haq told us he'd been in conversation with the team in Calgary, and they would be trying to arrange an MRI for Tom in addition to the PET scan.

Sure enough, we got a call en route from the Alberta Children's Hospital - their soonest time slot for an MRI is this Friday at 1:45. We checked back with our cancer clinic, they'll simply move Chemo 11 back to next week so that he can take advantage of this appointment.

For those of you who subscribe to the Leader Post newspaper in Regina, there's a photo of Tom helping to trim Mike's hair at the church fundraiser for Haiti (see page A2).

Via text, we learned that Laura and her friends were given free passes to the medals ceremonies tonight at BC Place - such a lucky duck!

Thanks for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers, we appreciate everyone's support!
