We received a GREAT MRI report and fantastic news from the doctor's appointment. Praise God! We cannot THANK YOU enough for all of your prayers! The MRI presented today, taken on 4/24/08, was compared with the post-surgery MRI taken on 1/11/08. It showed that the swelling of the brain had decreased significantly and that the cavity where the tumor was removed is shrinking. The upper perimeter of the cavity still shows some contrast on the MRI and the neuro-radiologist and neuro-oncologist are unsure if that is from swelling, scar tissue or tumor that was unable to be removed during the surgery. This area will be closely monitored every 8 weeks with an MRI to see how it progresses. Dr. Degroot seemed to think that it could possibly be there for years and never change. That is definitely our prayer. We thank you for your sweet prayers and your kind encouragement. We are in God's hand and are thankful for His great love for us! We can trust His promises because He's a good and faithful God!
"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
Lamentations 3:22-23

That is fabulous news! We've been praying since last night that the MRI results would be good. It is such a blessing to see Travis back out working on his Bronco again! God is so good. We are next door if you need absolutely anything.
