Good News!!!! Presently Todd is doing much better. For the first time Since early March I was able to visit with my brother. I brought our mother Wanda back from Florida on May 18th. On Friday June 1st Todd stopped by mom's house for a visit and fortunately I happened to stop in at Mom's for a visit. So I was able to visit with my dear brother once again after more than 3 months. Since June 1st, I have also been able to see Todd on June 11th and June 18th when he was brought over to Mom's house by his cargiver Craig. Thanks Craig, Todd's visits mean a lot to us!
Todd tells us that his new doctor, has taken him off of the seriods that he was taking to help shrink his brain tumor. The effect of this has been a remarkable improvement in Todds appearance and in his ability to think, speak and walk.
Unfortunately, a recent MRI has revealed that there is a new node developing on the original tumor. Starting this Wednesday, June 20th, Todd will be starting CyberKnife radiation treatments to kill off the new node on his brain tumor. We are all praying for Todd that this treatment will arrest the growth of this new tumor node. Please continue to keep Todd in your prayers.
Tomorrow June 19th, is Mother's 96th birthday. We will be having a birthday celebration for Mom after supper on the 19th. Unfortunately Todd has informed us that he has chosen not be in attendence.
Below is a picture that was taken today, in Mom's living room of Todd, Mom and myself.
