David,

We missed you at the board meeting-this, though, is wonderful news!

From the lone MD on the board, I can tell you that sometimes we will never know the answer.  But that never stops us from being thankful when someone’s illness resolves-with or without our intervention.

Enjoy the pile-ups and we will look forward to seeing you next time!

Subject: [arrl-odv:19631] K5UZ Biopsy Results

Ladies and Gents,

I got the results from the pathologist late Monday and the results from my last blood work today.  They are all normal!  There is nothing wrong with my liver or pancreas as was feared. What ever was wrong with my liver and/or pancreas, and multiple blood tests over the past five months showed that there was something wrong, is gone!  The pathologist went over this several times and ran multiple tests because he simply could not believe what he was seeing.  My GI is at a loss too but as he stated “God has smiled upon you my boy because this defies all logic!  However, we can’t argue with the results of a liver biopsy as thorough as this…”   The prayers worked! 

One week later I am just a bit sore from the procedure but as you can imagine I do feel considerably better!  I am already working at the office, and working the pile-ups!   This has been one of the most stressful periods of my life.  I am relieved that it has resolved and with the most satisfactory ending.  God has blessed me.

The Norris Clan wants to thank the ARRL Board family for your concerns and prayers.  You truly are an amazing group! 

I hope to see you all soon.
