Journal entry by Timothy OHara

Hello everyone & happy new year. We hope you had a wonderful holiday.

Before Christmas we were blessed to travel to San Antonio and enjoy time with our Texas family. We saw Helen, the Hudnall Family, and spent lots of time with Erinn, Caroline, Dave, Maggie and Jackson. 

Kristen still undergoes weekly immunoembolization infusions, which is keeping her liver and lungs stable. This is an absolute miracle.

Back in August, Kristen completed a week of radiation on a tumor in the middle of her spine. The treatment was successful, but resulted in 6 months of exhaustion. Last month's spinal scan uncovered a new tumor, which showed aggressive growth, and requires another course of stereotactic body radiation. Today was the first treatment. More treatments are required each day this week. 

Kristen is focused on getting through the radiation and feeling better soon, as she has a lot to look forward to! With Erinn/Caroline and Maggie/Dave both expecting baby girls in the coming months, ZaZa/GiGi will be busy and have a full heart!

In faith and high spirits, anything is possible!

The O'Hara Family
