Going to LA

Gary's MRI was reviewed by several radiologist who believe that the tumor is growing "slightly". So after much deliberation, we have decided to go to Los Angeles to Cedars Sinai this week to seek the advise of a Neuro Oncologist so he can advise us on the latest Clinical Trials that would be recommended for Gary.  

We don't know what we're in for, but pray that they have something that will work on killing the tumor.   We're glad that we found out in time to do something about it, but saddened that the disease might be progressing.

Gary's spirits are "mostly good" and he feels "mostly good".  I get down from time to time, but remain his advocate and best friend.

Good heavens, don't apologize for making us worry when we have problems of our own. We're striving with you! Thank you for keeping us informed through your blog. It helps us know better how to pray. Remember, God is in control, he loves you, and will guide you through this.
Much love,
Andy & Sue

Why now?

All is well, so why now?

Well, we have been extremely touched by the care and attention so many of you have showered upon us over the past 6 months (yes, this whole thing started 6 months ago, ie. 11/27/07). Throughout this time, we've had ups and downs and many of you have shared them with us and lifted us up with your love. When this first started, I sent out emails to our beloved prayer chain warriors, our faithful families and friends. Undoubtedly and unintentionally, people who care about both of us were missed.

As snowbirds, we have returned to our home in Bend, Oregon and we miss our "Southern Friends" who have done the same thing by going home to countless beautiful communities throughout the United States and Canada. This offers an opportunity to occasionally check on Gary's progress and post your comments.

My focus is Gary, so sometimes the phone call I "should" make to friends isn't made. I'll try to update this blogsite once a week to say hello and let you know how he's doing. Please don't hesitate to call us or check this blog from time to time and leave a comment.

We know that you worry about Gary and me and hope that this will give you some comfort.

Hope it works for you. Works for me.

We're sending our love to you through this blog. Please keep him in your prayers.

Virginia and Gary
