that Vinny's re-check MRI is clear!  We received a call from Neurology today that the MRI shows a clear scan and all is well.  I feel like I can breathe again!  I don't know if I will ever have the words to fully express my thanks to the amazing surgeons and nurses that took care of our Vin... but I will continue to give them huge hugs whenever I see them! Of course Vinny will continue to have scans and visits twice each year, but right now it will definitely be a lot easier to get back to just feeling normal, as Vinny puts it.  Thank you again for all of your well wishes and prayers - the support from all of you through this journey makes our hearts full and we are ever so thankful to be so blessed with the amazing support of our family, friends, and community.  Not a day goes by that I do not thank the Lord for all of his blessings and that includes all of you!  Hug your family and friends often and give thanks for every day... I know I will!  Love to you all - Monica
