Merry Christmas

Christmas Day had about gotten away when I realized I wanted a family picture. It was cold, the grandchildren were napping, and no one was excited about heading outdoors. Harold shoveled a path through the new snow and we dashed out for this photo moment– a tribute to that day last March when we stood together and chose to rely on our Savior to guide us through Harold's cancer battle. That faith has been rewarded. Harold is still here . . . and we still choose faith. 

 

                      

Update

Harold had an MRI today to check for new tumors. This was the first scan since his October 12^th brain surgery and since he started chemotherapy. Drum roll please . . . 

 For the very first time we are able to announce
No New Brain Tumors!

I don’t know if grinning ear to ear and throwing high fives conveyed the proper “cautiously hopeful” doctor’s office demeanor. Bouncing down the hallway and announcing it to total strangers in the elevator probably didn’t either; but hey, it’s the Christmas season and we just got the best gift ever!
