Follow Up at the National Institute of Health

Missy and Dad flew up to the National Institute of Health yesterday for a follow up MRI and to meet with her doctors about the effectiveness of her current treatment plan. She found out this morning that the scan shows her cancer is responding exactly as they hoped to this new treatment! This is such amazing news! We were all very hopeful that it was working well, since she seems to been feeling more like herself lately, but there was definitely the fear that we would get a report of new cancer growth as we did last time. Hearing the words that this is working like it should, to just continue on with treatments as planned, it's just such overwhelming and wonderful news.

Missy and Dad will be flying home tonight, and she will continue on with her current treatment plan here at home. She will go back up to the NIH for another MRI in two months, just to keep an eye on things and to make sure nothing has changed.

Thank you all so much for your continued prayers and support. They mean so much to us all.
