Journal entry by Mary Tyson —
Hello everyone,
This is a quick note to update you that Jim has responded well to the radiation and chemo that he had in December. He is young, strong, and with his overall good health has been able to tolerate the three weeks of radiation concurrently with chemo, in my mind, remarkably well. What's improved is his ability to verbally and facially express quite a bit more than he could in December. We've had some great visiting time with family and the grand kids over the holidays. All in January we've had family and friend visitors and care-giving help to make each day full of life. The winter snow has been spectacular here in Bellevue. We try to get out for walks most days.
We're trying everything from physical therapy, vit. C drip, playing music, listening to lots of music, and the love of family and friends to invigorate different parts of his brain and to build back some strength, Jimmy is having some really nice weeks. I'm truly grateful for all of the love and support each of you send through your thoughts, prayers, well wishes, and food!
Every bit of visualizing that Jim's tumor is shrinking goes a long way, so please do that! Right now we are enjoying a visit from Jim's niece, Rose, and are on our way to meet Max in Boise today.
Love, Mary
