Today was a busy day for us all.  His appointment went great today with the radiation doctor.  There are no signs of swelling or damage caused by the radiation.  He does see a slight decrease in the size of the AVM especially in the area where the embolization was completed.    This is a slow process but everything at this time is going great.  Dr Palmer said Tanner was doing very well and wants to schedule another MRI in  8 months.    That will be the 1 year mark from the radiation.  The usual schedule is every 3 months but he is doing so well at this point, he wanted to wait until 8 months.  This of course would greatly depend on Tanners continued improvement without any symptoms of brain swelling or damage.  Thank you everyone once again for your continued support and prayers.
