Hey everyone, 

Carly has told me how much she appreciates everyone checking in with her, it means so much!  As we all know, what she is going through is not a sprint but a marathon, and knowing she has people continuing to run alongside her is huge.

Carly met with all of her doctors, had her MRI, and has reviewed the results with her neurologist, the radiation oncologist, and the surgeon who performed her brain surgery.  The original radiologists were not concerned from the results.  However, the scan did show there is some slight growth, and the doctors are unsure if it is the tumor or some post-operative scar tissue.  All in all, they do not feel this is something to be concerned about right now, which is good news.  They did recommend that Carly begin doing MRIs every 3 months to continue to monitor the area.

Carly did sustain a small concussion after the seizure, which made recovery harder, so prayers for continued strength and complete healing are needed, as are prayers for peace as she awaits the upcoming MRI.  We are so thankful Carly has not had any more seizures since beginning back on seizure medication again.  I watch in awe as she fights through the symptoms and uncertainty of this each day to show up for her kids, her family, her friends, and her coworkers and patients.  She even took a 24 hour road trip with her family to her parents in Florida - what a wonderful escape for them all from the day to day of this!  We will continue to post updates after her next scan.
