What is an OmaHeck...

It is likely you have never heard of an OmaHeck. We kind of made it up. Here's a little history:

When I moved to Utah in 1990, I was introduced to a brand new phrase: "Oh my heck!" I guess it means "wow", "no way", or "that's surprising." It serves as a multi-purpose expression and possibly a swear :-0 (as in "Oh my heck, you are a jerk!)

When the family left Utah and settled in Omaha, NE (2004), we became "OmaHecks."

The Light is Green, The Scan is Clean...

Yeah, I stole the line... Remember in "Ghostbusters" when Ray is explaining to Winston how the ecto containment unit works? He explains that "when the light is green, the trap is clean."

Cyndie had her thyroid cancer scan in December (thankfully we got all the insurance issues resolved, see the November post). We finally got the results just last week. No sign of any thyroid cells and no sign of any cancer. We are so thrilled. We know we have been blessed through the faith and prayers offered on her behalf. It gives us pause to think of the many, many souls who have petitioned our Heavenly Father countless times. We are humbled.

Some may have heard that after 2 clean scans (now completed) we'd be looking at a scan every 5 years. Well, medical protocol has changed and now the doctors can monitor any thyroid cell presence with a simple blood test. That means no more painful and expensive injections and no more scans. Heavenly Father certainly blesses us with great technology and knowledge to improve our lives. We are grateful.
