Fantastic Progress!

Daddy had a follow-up MRI last week. His first since they new treatment. We had been told that for many, this treatment worked like a miracle. For others, it didn't. Of course, our hopes were that he would get the miracle.

His doctor called Friday afternoon, the day after the MRI, even though they had an appointment to see him on Monday. The news was just too good to hold onto: The 3mm spot had reduced to 1.3mm. And everything else is "just fine". It was really great to get the news so quickly, we didn't have to suffer the PMS all weekend (Post MRI Syndrome).

So his treatments will continue along this path, no changes at this point. We're hoping that he'll be able to taper pretty soon (longer between treatments) to increase his ratio of tired days to good days. But for now, it's working and we're excited!

Lots of other stuff going on.....a whole bathroom remodel for the front bath including beautiful new EVERYTHING all the way down to the studs! Workmen coming in to fix the AC ducts, which have deteriorated with age and need repair/replacement. The yards are looking fantastic and veggies have been planted. It's all good!
