MRI update May 27, 2014

Martin Luther King Jr. said, "We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope. "

The journey we are on is full of many turns, ups and downs, and everything in-between. But today was a GOOD DAY!!! No new brain tumors the bleeds are fading and the swelling is going down.  All in all everything that took place today was positive!!! We have been so very blessed!!! And so with that said, we will keep on the road of happiness.  Spending as much time as we can with the people we love most and enjoy every second of it!!!

He goes back for a quick check in a month.  But will not have any more scans until the end of the summer.  Which means.....bring on the sunshine and let summer begin!!!

"Faith moves mountains, but you have to keep pushing while you're praying."  Mason Cooley

So we will keep up the faith and keep on praying!!!  Thank you to everyone for all the love and support and the PRAYERS!! We know they work!!!

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!!

First set of results!!! May 22, 2014

Lets just get to the good stuff!!! I am going to say it in my terms.... It's a GOOD DAY!!!!!

Yes there is always some growth but having that said there is so much good to talk about!! The growth that is there is so minimal that the doctor was very pleased!  Ron is going to stay on the same chemo for the next 3 months.  And then do more scans after that.  He has his MRI (brain scan) on Tuesday.  If that gives us good results he will be on a roll!!! My feelings are positive!! Although Ron has had some bad head aches they have been managed and hopefully he didn't have any brain bleeds or anything else that would cause him a need for more radiation but until we get told otherwise we will keep up the positive thoughts.  So what this means for now is we will wait for his scan on Tuesday and then plan on a fun filled fantastic summer!!! 

This is Ron and I on his birthday a week ago!! 

Emma's school program so much fun!!!

Grace's pre-school graduation she is a doll!!!

Who could resist this face!!! 

Faith, prayers and lots of love!! We are so thankful for everyone and all that is done for us!  We are truly so very blessed!!!

THE END

We had such a wonderful time spending time with our WHOLE family!!! Logan & Lauren were wonderful host and it was so good to be with them and see their home and be in their "neck of the woods"  It is getting hotter there now so we are glad we went when we did.  And we hope they can make it to Utah a few times this summer.  Ron did really well on the trip.  The kids were so good to look out for him and even the grandkids were always making sure Pop was ok.  Emma even went down the slide one last time just so pop could watch.  We have wonderful children as I have said before and they choose such wonderful companions we have been truly blessed!! 

Ron does't go back for scans for a few more weeks, so we are hoping that he just continues to do fine and then we will wait for results day. Always nerve racking but must be done.  In the mean time as always we will keep having faith in the plan that is set for us.  And do as the Lord would have us do.  

As always thank you for your continued prayers and faith on Ron's behalf, we know without any questions that it works!
