Gamma Knife.....

Yesterday we went over to Seattle and did another Gamma Knife treatment. Sheri's doctor over there was very thorough in attacking the spots. The good news was, after looking at all her previous scans, there is only one new spot. Originally he thought there were many new ones. However, several of her old spots, some almost two years old now, grew a little which concerned him. The largest spot is the size of a pencil eraser...about 3/8" across....the rest are all very small...about 1/8"....so the doctors are trying to stop this very early. All in all it went well.

A few of Sheri's friends are starting to call her Wonder Woman. While waiting for her treatment she was doing her report cards for her Kindergarten class....which amazed the doctors. "You must love your job?" he said. "Ya think?" I quipped (I can be a bit of a smart %&# at times). We think it helps her to keep pushing onward. Today she is back at work.

Sooooo....we were asking God for a sign as to when to go to the Alternative Clinic in California. God spoke very clearly with these last scan results. OK God we got the message, we are going. We leave next week on Wednesday night for the Oasis of Hope. We'll be there a week and a half, coming home the following Saturday. They give us the weekend off....sooooo...we decided to fly the kids down and hit Disneyland for a few days. They are very excited. She and I are excited about the hospital too. Thank you Charltons and Moreheads for helping us with places to stay! We will undoubtedly need help with food and stuff when we return....so we may need to tap any of the "let me know how I can help" offers out there.

All in all we are doing better mentally....a plan always seems to help with that. Pray the Gamma Knife does it's job, and pray as we head south to the Oasis of Hope. We are looking up and moving forward.
