A quick up-date

The Gamma Knife procedure went well. My reaction has been good. Currently I'm on a lot of steroids. So if you want to pray specifically, please pray for all swelling to be gone as a reaction to the treatment. Also, some good news was that the tumors in my back bones and liver are disappearing!!!!! Thank you Jesus! That means as tumors go away, my back is building up inside and I need to be careful...no skiing for me. Please pray for strong healthy bones.

We NEVER give up, God is faithful to heal and answer prayers. Thank you for praying with us.

Looking up!

Better Scans.....

Thursday we ran over to the UW for some follow up scans to see where we go from here. Today Sheri's doctor called with the results. "I actually have some good news for you this time." he told Sheri. The two larger spots they were worried about were swelling from the gamma knife treatment, not growing. Also the areas in her bones and liver have gotten better... so we are making good progress. There are a few very small spots the doctor would like to hit with Gamma Knife to knock them in their tracks. So, Tuesday we head back over for Gamma Knife. So a bit of a mixed bag...but all in all we're moving forward. The doctors have had great success with the Gamma Knife...it's been over two years since our first treatment. God is good, and we thank Him for the healing He gives. Sheri and her folks are taking a weekend retreat up at Sun Mountain for a little spiritual teaching. The kids and I are headed snowmobiling, skiing, and to church, which should be interesting.
Pray for Sheri...for Tuesdays treatment, and this weekends spiritual journey. Thanks again for all the support and prayers.

What a Weekend!

I had a conference for my business that started this past Wednesday. Sheri and the kids came over that night to be with me as we were receiving an award...I wanted them there with me. My Dad flew up too. Sheri woke up Thursday morning with a splitting headache. After laying down for a few hours, it seemed to get better. Then Friday morning the same thing happened, so we called Sheri's doctor in Wenatchee. She suggested that we go to the UW medical center. We had to enter via the Emergency Room to be admitted. We spend nearly 4 four hours in the waiting room before we got in. They ran a CT scan and an MRI that night. A few of the spots in her head had swollen, causing the headaches. The doctors had told us that there was a possibility after Gamma Knife, that there may be some swelling. They have her on steroids now to reduce the swelling...no headache today! The road from here is a bit cloudy. They would like to do another scan to see what is tumor, and what is swelling from the Gamma Knife. Then formulate a plan. Though the doctor said we are running out of options, we know God never is.

We continue to look for Gods healing touch on Sheri, please pray that with us. We will keep you all up to date as we get news. She is feeling much better. We went to church this morning, worked in the yard ( it was 52 here today!) and she plans to work tomorrow. She's a trooper!

Happy Birthday Bryce!

Nine years ago a new blessing came into our lives. Bryce! We have been blessed ever since. He has kept us on our toes. We are very proud of him.

Last week we did chemo on Thursday again, and returned for a Nulasta shot the next day. (Thanks for the ride Kevin!) I rested yesterday, but wasn't as wiped out or exhausted as the last time I had chemo. Praise the Lord!

Today we are going to the ski hill to celebrate Bryce's birthday. Diana is helping me since I had no idea of how I'd be feeling today. (Thanks Diana & Brad!) My plan is to go up, enjoy and then come home for a nap so I can work tomorrow. We are so blessed to have such good friends.

On the 16th we have an MRI planned at the U.W. We're continuing to pray for a miracle. Thanks for praying with us.
