Run For The Rose 2018

I can't believe we are preparing for our next trip to Run For The Rose- how can it be a year has flown by!?!? Dad continues to do great, as his last MRI showed no signs of tumor and he is still off of all treatments. Our next appointment is in March, and we continue pray that he remains in remission.  We would love to have each of you join our team this year for a little 5k that continues to do BIG things in the brain cancer community. It all takes place on April 8 @ 8 am, where each Survivor will make the emotional walk across the finish line- where tears fill many eyes as we watch the strength and determination of those who have fought this difficult battle.  And then the race begins! 8:15 am the 5k will start, followed by the 1k at 8:45 am. You can walk, run, or just hang out with Dad at the finish line, and watch all the maroon shirts cross the finish line. Speaking of maroon shirts- we are ordering again this year! Let me know if you would like a new shirt for this y...

2018 Is Upon Us...Dad Update 1/3/2018

I feel like each time I log into this blog I have to apologize, as my updates become shorter and shorter- and the time between them gets longer and longer.  But we have been busy living LIFE- and loving each moment of it! Dad has started exercising during the day- he's up to about 18 minutes of walking- which is HUGE! We are working on Dad gaining more strength and Dr. Fleener suggested exercising. And what Dr. Fleener says, Dad never has a problem doing.  Dad is still doing speech therapy daily, as we continue to see small improvements in his memory and speech. His brain is getting stronger and stronger each day! We've scheduled our next MRI for March, and until then we continue to pray for no new signs of tumor growth and be so thankful for no more chemotherapy, radiation or Avastin.  We hope you each had a wonderful holiday season and a happy new year!
