It was positive just as we suspected based on reading the CDC website.
They took two front chest xrays and then I had to hold him for the side chest xray (xrays are good - I am hoping to grow a third arm to help with the mechanic work). Guess what...we have to go back there again - Monday.
While doing the xray, the guy doing the xray asked me if I knew anyone else who wanted a Haitian child. He said he had children of all ages to hook me or my friends up with. This is the second time this has happened to me - I suspect I am not the only person.
This guy looked at the xray and said it looked good, but I don't trust him at all. We'll wait for the official person to read the xray. Based on the way Lou acts all day long, I would guess that he doesn't have it, but... only the Lord knows right now.
Stay tuned until Monday... I'll try to come up with some commercial breaks. I might have some BCS later (Boring Car Stuff) in the week (i.e., tomorrow).
Please pray that we mentally make it through another weekend -they are tough for us.

Ken and Tina -
Definitely thinking of you and praying for you.
Is it your understanding that you can have a positive reading due to an exposure to TB without ever having a full-blown active contagious outbreak? When we volunteered at Mother Teresa Sisters of Charity many of the children were being treated for TB.
I pray that the chest x-ray shows no active sign of TB and that you will be able to come back to Minnesota.
Peace to you. How about another bucket of ice cream?

I was so hoping it would be negative. I am praying for you!!
Debbie - I like the way you think - Ice Cream! Unfortunately when you buy ice cream here, it tastes like it has been frozen and thawed about 5-10 times - it's not really worth the $10/gallon. He could have a positive skin reaction and a negative xray. Thank you for your prayers!
Shea, we were too, but since yesterday morning we were thinking that it would be positive. It wasn't too much of a surprise. We didn't want it to be positive, but we did get prepared for that answer. Thank you for your prayers, too!
