Journal entry by Anne Freeman —
Jumping for joy may cause headaches, dizziness, fatigue, shortness of breath. Should you experience any of these symptoms, contact Elizabeth’s Neuro Oncologist as he is currently jumping for joy and can assure you the jumping should continue regardless of any of the associated risks. To say Elizabeth received a good report would be an understatement. It was GREAT!!!! So wonderful in fact that Dr. Tremont was indeed jumping up and down with excitement at her continued progress. This was the best report Elizabeth has received since embarking on this journey almost 2 years ago. The two spots they have been watching closely show a significant reduction which signifies necrosis and healing. Praise be to God! Lots of blue was present in her scan, which we are always praying for! There was a sharp incline on her cognitive test. She is making connections more quickly and easily. Elizabeth’s next scan will be in 4 months and knowing that we will receive another great report, she will bump up to 6 months. Dr. Tremont prescribed more vacations and time with family. Done and done. As a side note, after I submitted my brief report this morning I was reminded of one of my favorite verses which I recite always in song form. My girls learned it as a song in preschool and I often find myself internally chanting it.
Joshua 1:9
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
AMEN!!!
Love you all. Many many thanks for blessing our family with your thoughts and prayers.
