Grateful for Great News!

We're so grateful that we received great news today during our meeting with the Yale oncologist, Dr. McNamara. The tumor has NOT grown, the swelling is going down, and the fluid flow is back to normal -- all blessings! Owen's next MRI will be in Mid-May and then every three months after for the first year. In talking to the doctor about our worries regarding the tumor he said that we'll always worry about it - noting that when Owen calls from college with a headache from a hangover we'll be concerned about the headache... nice to think about Owen off at college.

Please continue to pray that the tumor will never grow as all things are possible through prayer. Thank you all for your continuous prayers - we will continue to pray without ceasing.
