MRI Results




I was visiting Gary's mom the other day and looked through some old albums with her. I found this picture of Gary when he was a little younger :) I love this picture! His love for animals has definitely been passed down to his children.


Gary just finished his fifth round of chemo. We met with the doctor and received the results of the MRI taken on Feb. 12th.
The news was good! This MRI showed improvement from the last one. The area that the doctors have been watching has become smaller. This is definitely encouraging.
Gary continues to feel good. He continues to go to work each day, enjoys his food and is really enjoying time spent with family and friends.
The few side effects he has been having don't seem to concern the doctor. A little more sleep would be nice but we blame the steroids for waking him up at 5 a.m. every morning.
The progress and effect of the treatments have been slow but things are stable. Life has been good and our routines quite back to normal. This is all good and we thank God through it all.
The next MRI will be at the beginning of April. Please continue to pray for healing and peace for our family as we continue to live our lives from day to day. 
Thankful to God,
Joanne, Gary and family.
