The News from St. Jude

The MRI results came back stable and clear of tumor! Thank the Lord again!
Added to that though, according to Dr. Merchant's nurse...from the doctors words though, there is post-operative changes to the brain. She didn't say if any of these are of concern. She just told me that Dr. Merchant would take Ivee's MRI to the tumor board on Wednesday and have Dr. Sanford and the other neuro's take a look at it. Then the nurse, Christy, said she would call me back about the next check up. It sort of made me feel like we would be going back up sooner than later. I'm not concerned about this news...for now...cause I don't really know what any of this means, since of course I am not a brain specialist and I don't know exactly what Dr. Merchant meant by the term changes to the brain.
I CAN tell you that Ivee is talking like "crazy" now and she repeats all kinds of things. She is even talking in two or three word sentences. Her balance may not be 100%, but there has been some kinda change (in my eyes) for the better.

That's wonderful about her talking and walking better! I know you are thrilled! We will be praying about the other news, and know God is in control.
I used your blog earlier as a reference. I found your "butt paste" concoction for diaper rash as we are dealing with a BAD one from antibiotics. Here's hoping it works for us!
