Good News!

Kelly had her MRI today and it went very well.  We went to Dr. Muhonen's office right afterward and he was very pleased with the results.  Her scans were all clear! I would post a picture, but it looks just like her last MRI.  There was a very small spot of enhancement 8 weeks ago, and that isn't even there anymore.  So it is a great night at our house.  It is such a relief to have an MRI over and have good results.


Next week Kelly has labs on Tuesday and chemo on Wednesday.  At least we know the chemo is doing its job!

Megan's good news is that her cast came off yesterday and she is starting to use her ankle again.  She has to ease back into dance slowly, but she is doing dance classes again ( as much as she can) and should be able to participate in our dance show June 28th.

Thanks for all your prayers for Kelly.  They are definitely working!

Hi Kelly!

Wow!!! What great news!! I told the 4th grade today that their prayers were working and about your super news. All of them clapped and cheered. You have a big fan club! So glad to hear that Megan has her cast off. Love to all the family. When school's out we'll have to get together to celebrate.
Love and hugs,

Kelly,
I am so glad to hear that you keep receiving good news. I have not posted in a while I know but I love your room. As you know the moose is my favorite animal too, so of course, I am jealous. I hope we can get together this summer.
Tell Megan I said congratulations on getting her cast off.

Yea!!!! I snorted water out my nose for you guys I was so excited. (Luckily, I had been drinking it and it didn't just spontaneously shoot out of me- although if I had that talent I'm sure I'd be incredibly popular around fire season). Have a fantastic weekend celebrating Laudes- you've all earned it!!

Hi Kelly. This is Kim’s friend, Jen. Kim talks about you all the time and occasionally I come read updates on your blog. I am happy to see that they are almost always GOOD updates! Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that I find you to be a very inspirational person. Your strength through all of this has been amazing to me. You have handled all of this with more grace than I think even the toughest adult could. I think about you and your family a lot, and I hope there are more good updates to come. Enjoy your summer and say hi to your family for me. =)
